Maceo Campoverde

I'm an accounting student at Western Washington University on the CPA-eligible track, with a minor in economics, currently studying for the Enrolled Agent exams. Before WWU, I studied International Business and Relations at Temple University's Japan campus in Tokyo.

My experience so far spans audit and corporate finance across international markets — M&A research and financial analysis at Hallmark Capital International in Singapore, and ongoing work as a remote external auditor for NEXUS, the student association for the University of Groningen's law school, in the Netherlands.

I've also spent the last several months building Kove, a personal finance platform, where I'm designing a custom tax-collection and compliance system to replace Stripe Tax and writing the technical documentation that keeps the platform usable for non-technical teammates. It's the clearest example of how the accounting and software sides of what I do work together — the accounting background tells me what the system needs to get right, and the software skills let me build it instead of just flagging the problem.

Outside of school and work, I like learning how to build things — I'm teaching myself to design a go-kart, hoping to take a community college welding class so I can actually build it, and tinkering with 3D printing in my free time. I've also done a fair amount of traveling — Singapore, Malaysia, Ecuador, Canada, across Europe, Beijing, and Japan — plus a cross-country road trip last year.
