Amy Leija is the Accounting Manager at Allied Exteriors, bringing 11 years of accounting experience and a practical understanding of the financial side of home improvement businesses.
Amy’s path into accounting began when she helped a friend in the office of a fencing and patio company. What started as an opportunity to lend a hand developed into a career. She continued learning the business and eventually became the company’s controller.
That experience gave Amy an understanding of accounting grounded in the day-to-day realities of the home improvement industry rather than accounting theory alone. At Allied, she focuses on accounting and finance and has been part of the company for seven years.
Amy also spent many years as a Pre-K and kindergarten teacher. While seemingly unrelated to accounting, that experience strengthened a skill that matters in any complicated subject: explaining information clearly and making it easier for other people to understand.
Amy’s primary areas of expertise are accounting, finance, and the financial operations behind a home improvement company. She is a valuable source for Allied content involving the financial side of home improvement when the subject falls within her professional experience.
