Mak Falaye, CPA, MBA
Born and raised in Nigeria, Mak built his career on the belief that great accounting is about people first and numbers second. He earned his MBA in Finance and Accounting from Bryant University, graduated with honors, and passed the CPA exam.
Over more than sixteen years, he has worked across accounting, finance, consulting, audit, banking, manufacturing, investment services, and real estate — the kind of range that translates directly into smarter guidance for growing businesses.
In Providence, he founded Platinum Tax & Accounting Services to give serious entrepreneurs the kind of financial partner he wished more of his clients had earlier.
Mak and his wife Tomi live in Providence and are raising five children, including twins.
