Default Hello From OHIO
Hello everyone!! I am so excited to be a part of this forum!! I am in the begining stages of my startup business as a VA and I am almost completed with my website. I never thought in a million years I would be able to have the freedom to work from home doing things I truly Love!!

I have a bachelors degree in Business Management with a concentration in accounting. I worked for seven years as a business manager for two sister newspaper publications. I left my position there to finish my degree and to work for an accounting firm to get some accounting experience under my belt. So with that being said I am pretty versitile in the administration and accounting fields and am very confident in my ability do do an excellent job.

The name of my business comes from an obsession with the Wizard of Oz. After racking my brain for weeks to come up with a name for my business I started to think "out of the box" and I was so happy with my selection, as I am not very creative at all! I suprised myself to say the least!

I look forward to being an active part of this forum and I cannot wait to learn from everyone!!

Welcome, Sarah! Your company name is lovely and it opens up so many opportunities for creative logos and designs - that's great. I went to college in Cleveland, so I have a fondness for Ohio! I hope things are well for you there and good luck in starting your business. See you around the forum!
