“As I watched my mother and my relatives age, I saw they became less able to handle their monthly financial tasks. I also saw many people trying to scam them with services that they did not need. I knew at that point that with 30 plus years of accounting experience, I would be able to help these seniors navigate the financial landmines.”

With extensive accounting experience in a variety of industries, Toni Landi is a natural fit as a Client Advocate for My Personal Bookkeeper. Not only does he take pride of ownership performing all administrative tasks and activities, he also serves as a vigilant watchdog over his client’s finances to see that they don’t get taken advantage of. In addition, with his multilingual capacity—Italian, French and Spanish—and his natural joie de vivre, he is a delight to work with. Plus, he’s a family man with a wife of more than 45 years and two children, so he understands just how key it is to take care of the important things in life with efficiency, confidentiality and compassion.
