Founder and Executive Director,
Center Helping Obesity in Children End Successfully (C.H.O.I.C.E.S.)
Vanetta Stringfield Keyes was always thrifty, even as a teenager, so becoming a certified accountant and starting her own firm was just a natural progression for her. In addition to running her CPA firm, Keyes is the founder and executive director of the Center Helping Obesity in Children End Successfully (C.H.O.I.C.E.S.).
Keyes offers the following advice for women who want to increase their net worth, “Pay yourself first! Don’t concentrate on ‘get rich’ quick schemes! Continuously make sound financial decisions on a daily basis on whatever you’re doing. Opportunities are everywhere and women must take the time to stop, think and make consistent[ly] wise choices to increase their wealth. … Slow and steady is the way for women to increase their net worth.” –m. lee
