About Vince Patoka

I started my career as an entry-level accountant at Target where my drive and ambition brought me the opportunity to work in two different capacities within the same number of years. Shortly thereafter, I made the decision to relocate to Chicago, where I was able to amass even more experience and knowledge in progressively more challenging roles in the financial services and media industries. My husband and I later moved to New York City in 2019, which turned out to be a very fulfilling move for us personally.My experience in accounting has dabbled in various industries, including retail, fintech and advertising, illustrating my ability to adapt to various spaces. If there is a topic I do not know very well, I\'m very interested in learning how to become an expert. I\'m also very keen on continued process improvement - if there is a way to partially or fully automate a process, I\'m game.
