Nadia Haitayan Fistolera

Business Advisor

Nadia Haitayan Fistolera – Business Advisor, The Garabedian Group

"Anyone can do a tax return. Our specialty is walking alongside our clients through the hard conversations, the fun ones, and everything in between." 

Call Nadia when you're facing a big decision, like buying an asset, investing in real estate, or planning a 1031 exchange. Ideally, call her before you make it.

Nadia believes the old stereotype of the quiet, technical accountant gets it wrong. Real advice comes from real conversation, which is why she hopes clients call before a decision is made, not after. When something doesn't look right, she'll say so, respectfully and directly, because that's what a true advisor does.

Background 

Nadia's path to accounting started at her dad's business. She kept its day-to-day books while he built her work schedule around her college classes. His CPA saw what she could do and encouraged her to switch her major from environmental science to accounting. Six years into her career, she still brings that family-business perspective to every client she serves.

She approaches the work like a detective. Every client's story is different, so she puts her analytical mind to work on whatever they need, from QuickBooks help and government payments to tax planning and bigger questions like whether an asset or real estate investment is worth it. Her favorite work is advisory: helping owners grow their businesses and walking alongside them as they do.
