About Chloe Barnaj

As an organized and proactive professional with a multidisciplinary background in accounting, finance, real estate, and psychology. My experience spans office operations, client management, financial analysis, audit, and creative project support. I thrive in fast-paced environments where problem-solving, adaptability, and attention to detail are essential. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with an emphasis in Accounting from Chapman University and am completing my Master of Science in Accounting through Chapman’s integrated program. My passion for accounting is rooted in a deep appreciation for ethics, strategy, and numbers—cultivated through both academic training and hands-on experience. At Money Management Investment Fund LLC, I serve as Assistant to Ben Soifer, the Founder and CEO, where I help drive day-to-day operations, coordinate strategic initiatives, manage CRM systems, and support content development for a commercial real estate-focused debt fund. I also support broader organizational efforts including investor communications and operational planning. At EY’s Los Angeles office, I am part of the audit team, contributing to assurance engagements through internal control testing, risk assessments, and financial statement reviews. This role allows me to apply technical knowledge of GAAP and audit procedures while building strong client service and communication skills. My additional experience includes serving as Executive Assistant to the Running Manager at MMIFL, supporting high-level administrative functions and managing investor relations. As a Tax Intern at Mitchell Adams CPA Inc, I worked on individual and small-business tax preparation, compliance, and advisory support. I’ve also worked at Eco-Conscious, where I conducted inventory analysis and currency-related research to support operational decisions. In real estate, I’ve supported property management and leasing as a Real Estate Assistant at Equity Real Estate. On the creative side, I design custom photo books for Shutterfly, combining precision and storytelling. Fluent in English and Hebrew, I value strong communication, cultural awareness, and collaborative working relationships. With my combined experience in accounting, audit, finance, operations, and real estate, I am committed to contributing to organizations focused on integrity, growth, and meaningful impact.
