About
Built on preparation. Focused on people.
Pride in Preparation was founded in 2011 by Sshally Sharma, a financial planner, advisor, and accountant.
What began as a local financial practice evolved into a hybrid firm supporting individuals, families, entrepreneurs, and businesses throughout Washington and across the United States.
The firm's approach is rooted in the belief that financial confidence begins with preparation. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice, Pride in Preparation works to understand the complete financial picture behind every client — from taxes and accounting to business decisions and long-term financial planning.
