Welcome to my personal website. I’m Steven Sarrel, a CPA and Partner at Raines & Fischer LLP. Since 2010, I’ve been helping high-net-worth individuals, businesses, and trusts navigate complex tax and financial challenges with a focus on responsiveness, precision, and creative problem-solving.
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, cooking, and exploring new adventures—whether it’s hiking in Santorini or scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef. Here, I share insights into my work, travels, and the experiences that shape my perspective. Thanks for visiting!
From hiking in Cinque Terre to scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef, my travels have taken me to some remarkable places around the world. Each trip has been an opportunity to learn, experience something new, and appreciate the diversity of different places. Click below to discover more about where I’ve been and what I’ve seen.
