ABOUT ME
_JPG.jpg)
Vested Gator is owned and operated by me, Janalyn Guo. I am a CPA and have been in the accounting and financial management field for over 10 years, with experience working at a large big-4 firm as a senior consultant (hello, Deloitte!) as well as at a small publishing house as a business manager. In 2013, I served for one year as a postgraduate fellow at the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) helping to shape reporting requirements for various governmental entities. I'm also a working artist. In 2020, I started Vested Gator, LLC. as a way to help artist friends and arts organizations with their various financial and practical needs. I've since worked with diverse organizations in the fields of arts activism, experimental theater, video games, and virtual reality.
