For Sarita, accounting is a family affair! She lives with her husband, a fellow CPA with an audit focus. Sarita has two grown children, one of whom is a Lawyer and another who is a Chef de Cuisine. When she isn’t at work, Sarita enjoys reading and spending time out on the water. She cheers for the Longhorns and the Spurs and loves to watch superhero movies.
