Robbie Clopine, CPA, M.Ed.
My journey to a CPA was a circuitous one. After graduating magna cum laude from San Diego State University with a degree in business management and entrepreneurship, I jumped ship and moved to Spain to teach English. Igniting a passion for teaching, I returned to California to obtain a Masters in Education from the University of California, Santa Barbara. I taught for five years in elementary schools in San Diego, Santa Barbara, Colombia, Singapore, and Norway.
​
While rewarding and enjoyable, I desired a change that would bring a better work/life balance. I went back to school to earn an accounting degree from the University of California, San Diego. Prior to beginning Aloha Accounting in late 2022, I worked for two different San Diego accounting firms for several years. I have loved the career switch and the opportunity to have my own business.
​
My goal for you is to provide a tax experience that is filled with the Aloha spirit, from start to finish. I understand that anything relating to taxes and finances can raise the blood pressure, and I want to help turn that around so that you are confident about and looking forward to your future.
​
So grab some sunglasses, a ukulele, and maybe even a Mai Tai, and let's make it happen! Aloha!
