This week’s CPA of Ohio is Izzy Pauken, CPA, senior associate at Rehmann.

Where did you grow up?

“I grew up in Maumee and I now live in Toledo. But I was not born here, I was born in China. I was only about five weeks old when I moved here.”

What do you like to do in your free time?

“I like to spend time with friends and family. I’ve been into rollerblading around the city with my dog.”

What has been the highlight of your career?

“The highlight of my career is definitely the small leadership roles I’ve taken on with Rehmann. I enjoy working closely with the interns. It’s really rewarding seeing them grow throughout each busy season and seeing the ones that get hired here grow throughout their careers.”
