I was lured to start a business,” Foronda shared via a press release.</p><p>Foronda, who was introduced to an accounting firm, learned the ropes of taxation. He worked doing data entry for an accounting firm in Los Angeles, California. </p><p>He attended different institutions including UCLA to become an enrolled agent, the highest tax practitioner in the US.</p><p>In 2016, Foronda established his own company, Silver Aries. He was April-born, that’s why. He eventually parted ways with the company he was previously affiliated. </p><p>“I started doing it for family and friends who were giving me the opportunity and I learned what I’m doing. Every tax season, I was doing the job for a very minimal fee, enough for coffee. I was more after the experience and I was almost doing it for free,” he said.</p><p>Foronda started outsourcing, getting software to automate things and hiring other employees to do administrative staff for him. Even his uncle, who is a certified public accountant (CPA), and dad now who has years of experience running a company, are helping Foronda in Silver Aries.</p><p>He started giving talks in different business events to promote taxes and holding seminars when his business got successful.</p><p>For now, Foronda decided to focus on taxation and serving more clients in the US for the 2025 tax season.</p><p>Foronda is convinced he previously joined showbiz for the wrong reason. “Maybe if I’m really serious and passionate as an artist and that’s my core, I don’t think that’s me,” he said.</p><p>“Now, looking back why I didn’t become successful in that field, I realized I’m an artist who can’t really express myself,” he added.</p><div> </div><div> </div>
