Immigrant Entrepreneur: Esmeralda Todorova

Esmeralda came to New York when she was 18 years old. Coming from a very small town in Bulgaria, she had no idea what she was getting into. On her first week being in New York, she was so close to hopping back on the plane and going back home. Handling the New York lifestyle was a lot to take on as an immigrant and being all alone.

Her original plan was to get her Accounting bachelor's degree and then go back home, but when her parents decided to move from Bulgaria she decided to stay in U.S. to pursue her master's degree in Accounting as well.

During her corporate career Esmeralda realized that she was not living up to her American dream so she decided to work on launching her bookkeeping business, EDT Bookkeeping and Tax. She launched her business during COVID and she wishes she started her business a lot earlier!

She's excited to share her journey to success to entrepreneurship and provide value by serving her clients with her tax and accounting expertise.
