Nesha Pai
Founder. Pai CPA
Speaker profile
As a first generation Indian American raised in the south, Nesha has had her fair share of facing and overcoming obstacles – dealing with racism and sexism throughout her life. She has endured mental health struggles and a personal religious identity crisis all while navigating marriage, divorce, and single motherhood. But she credits these challenges as the catalyst for her success. As a Certified Public Accountant, Nesha opened her accounting firm, Pai CPA, in 2011 and made it her mission to empower women through hiring. Due to its unique virtual office structure (remember, this was 2011), she was able to give employment opportunities to mostly stay-at-home moms. She has great pride in owning a business that supports women and empowers business owners in their finances.
Still, as her business grew, Nesha felt her purpose to help women grow was unfulfilled. Nesha isn’t just an example of the American dream, she is the embodiment of it. Intrinsically empowered by her own story and inspired by the stories of others, Nesha has continued to expand her expertise and reach, leading to where she is today: An impactful leader and keynote speaker who guides others to step into their power, regain their trust in the process, and live the life of their dreams. Nesha is truly a testament to how her faith, forgiveness, and resilience transformed her seemingly insurmountable obstacles into priceless opportunity and power.
