Insightful Accountant asked, "how does the ProAdvisor Award fit into your firm's mission?", to which Debi replied:
The ProAdvisor Award is a reflection of the very heart of our firm’s mission—providing expert guidance that empowers business owners to grow with confidence. Being recognized as a Top 100 ProAdvisor affirms our commitment to excellence, accuracy, and the high standards we set for every client relationship.
This honor isn’t just a badge—it’s proof that our values of clarity, care, and compliance resonate beyond the walls of our firm. It reminds our clients that they’re partnering with a nationally recognized advisor who brings both technical expertise and genuine dedication to their business success.
We also asked Debi if she had "been able to leverage her ProAdvisor Award to promote her firm?", she responded:
We’ve used the ProAdvisor Award to boost credibility and showcase our commitment toexcellence. It’s featured in our marketing, on our website, and in client materials to highlight the level of expertise clients can expect from Sage Growth Advisors. The award sets us apart, builds trust with new prospects, and reinforces to current clients that they’re working with a nationally recognized advisor. It’s more than recognition—it’s a tool that supports our mission of providing expert, judgment-free financial guidance with heart.
Is there anything you would like to share about your 'home life'?
When I’m not helping clients make sense of their numbers, I’m recharging in my favorite place: home. I’m a proud grandparent, Boxer mom to the one and only Brutus Beefcake Choi, and a lifelong learner with introvert energy and a book always within arm’s reach.
I love stories with sharp twists, clever insights, and anything that makes my brain do somersaults (which it often does on its own, uninvited). Cooking is my creative outlet—Greek Chicken Pot Pie is a staple—and I find joy in quiet routines, meaningful conversations, and keeping life refreshingly simple.
