Hello,

I’m Diffie

Welcome to my basement—a cozy corner of the internet where I write about CPA prep, accounting, and the life happening around it.

Most days, that means breaking down accounting rules in plain English. Other days, it’s sharing what life looks like as a grad student navigating school, work, basketball, and everything in between.

If you’re studying for the CPA, working in accounting, or just curious about how numbers and real life intersect—welcome! This is a space for learning, reflecting, and figuring things out as we go.
