Join us in congratulating AAM’s Staff Investment Accountant Mariya Pavlova on recently passing the final part of the CPA exam! The CPA exam was Mariya’s final step in order to acquire her CPA license. According to the American Institute of CPAs website, the rigorous four-part exam combined with education and experience requirements is a challenging journey but is incredibly rewarding for all who achieve the prestigious title.

Mariya’s responsibilities include assisting the Controller and CFO with internal and external financial reporting, as well as budget analysis and reporting, preparing reports for investment accounting clients, and performing client payment allocation. Her 8 years of experience include working as a Staff Accountant at The Childs/Dreyfus Group and most recently as the Accounts Payable Team Leader for Ingram Micro SSC EMEA. Mariya attended DePaul University, earning a BS in Accounting.
