Wassia Kamon, CPA, CMA, MBA – 2023 “40 Under 40” Honoree

Career Highlights
Beginning my career in public accounting, I quickly transitioned to corporate accounting and Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A), taking on progressive leadership roles across manufacturing, technology, and pharmaceutical industries. This year, I embraced a new challenge at The Low Income Investment Fund (LIIF), starting as VP, Controller and advancing to VP of Finance and Controller within three months. In this role, I oversee both FP&A and accounting functions, happily supporting LIIF’s mission of mobilizing capital and partners to achieve opportunity, racial equity, and well-being for people and communities.

In 2023, I was featured twice in The Wall Street Journal and contributed articles to Accounting Today, the AFP blog, and Strategic Finance Magazine. I also spoke at several key industry events, including the AICPA Future of Finance Summit, the AFP 2023 conference, and the PACE Profits+ conference . Plus, I regularly engaged with over 22,000 followers on LinkedIn, focusing on practical aspects of working in the profession.
