Beza joined HLB Gross Collins, P.C. in 2020 bringing 13 years of prior public accounting experience. As a Senior Manager in our tax department, Beza applies her in-depth technical expertise in order to help clients understand and improve their overall tax outlook.
I believe financial literacy is for all walks of life, regardless of your economic status and background. The main cause of financial distress is lack of proper training and education. This is why I am passionate and excited about educating others to empower and to change their lives. I want to create awareness so people can take the right path in their financial decisions.
Specialized Expertise
Beza offers deep insight and knowledge of the complex and ever-changing tax code. She is committed to implementing optimal tax solutions that will bring about the most favorable results for her clients' financial health. She works with many businesses and high net worth individuals in implementing effective tax strategies, understanding that each client's situation is unique and there is no "one size fits all" solution. Her knowledge of the multiple facets of the tax code allows her to identify customized solutions for each client she serves.

With international dealings, not all CPA firms are created equal. Frustrated with complicated and inaccurate advise by our previous CPA, we were referred to HLB Gross Collins. HLB has been there to get to know who we are and to help us grow along the way by making suggestions and referrals that work for our business. No question is too small or large, all receive respectful and timely replies. The personal, reliable and professional services that Iliana and HLB staff have provided has been beyond measure, in the more than 11 years since we made the change.

“Crunching Numbers” for me is only one of the many things I appreciate about HLB Gross Collins. Over the many years of working with Pauline, who I consider my accountant and friend, I have developed a relationship which reflects trust and loyalty. I know she has my best interest as a basis for all her advice. Caring may be the key word. She is always available to guide my decisions in a supportive and professional manner. I consider myself fortunate to be a client.
