Yuri Kapilovich, CPA Season 1 Episode 2

Did you ever have such a passion for your industry but felt that the technology servicing this industry needs an upgrade to the 21st century? Roman did!

Roman wanted the intellectual challenge of law school and obtained his JD degree and began his journey in the professional world. He started working at a law firm and fell into the world of immigration law by accident. Recognizing  the shortcomings in the technology that serviced the industry, he decided to take matters into his own hands to fix the issues. Not knowing how to get started, he decided to see how things worked from the inside by joining a FinTech company. With $30,000 in the bank and a general concept of what he had to do, he left the comfortable W-2 job and took the leap. The savings dried up quickly and Roman had to make some moves. Check out his incredible story of resilience and unwavering commitment to his passion.
