I am speaker and presenter on money management, nonprofit management, business start ups and taxes with an emphasis on helping teenagers, families, and causes I care about.
As a member of the Ohio Society of CPAs Speakers Bureau, I have presented numerous workshops on money management, business start up, taxes, and budgeting to various community, church and homeschool groups. I have also published several magazine articles in The Old Schoolhouse, Home Education, Homeschool Enrichment magazines and the National Association of Tax Professionals.

I live in Cincinnati, Ohio with my husband and two daughters. Both of my daughters started micro businesses as teenagers. Emily taught piano lessons and tutored younger students in math and writing. Sarah designed web sites and took senior pictures. Through my daughters, accounting clients, and homeschooling groups, I have met dozens of teenagers that started their own micro businesses. I was asked to write my book series, Micro Business for Teens to help these teenagers.
I’m also a work-at-home-mom (WAHM) with a micro business, my accounting practice. I started my business, Carol Topp, CPA, LLC in 2000 with 16 tax clients, a home office, and no debt.
In 2010, I wrote the Micro Business for Teens book series.
In 2012 I hosted the PBS television production of Micro Business for Teens:Starting a Micro Business.
