J.R. Czajkowski, CPA

trader turned CPA

Chicago, Illinois

I am from the South Side of Chicago. I graduated at the top of my class at St. Rita High School. I then graduated with honors from the University of Southern California, double majoring in Accounting & Finance. Every summer between college, I worked on the floor at the Chicago Board of Trade. After finishing school, I traded options electronically. Since then, I pursued my own entrepreneurial ventures while simultaneously studying for (and passing on the first attempt) the CPA exam.
