Aaron Altamura

Startup CFO & CPA

Los Angeles

Aaron is nut for all things entrepreneurship, with his foundation stemming from finance and accounting. His passion was kindled during an invite only university course taught by Paul Orfalea, the founder of Kinko’s, who challenged him to observe and question everything he previously overlooked.

After graduating with dual degrees in finance & accounting and passing his CPA exams on his first attempts, he attended an elite financial analyst program at Wells Fargo. 20 months into the program, boredom drove him to hit the eject button, from which he immersed himself in the budding LA tech scene.

He has now spent the past 3+ years managing the finances of some of the country’s most innovative startups and high-growth companies, including Honk, Victorious, Hop Skip Drive, Ride Amigos... In addition, Aaron has taken his fair share of startup lumps with a failed FinTech venture.

Aaron's passion for teaching was sparked while mentoring a promising young teen through Minds Matter of Los Angeles. He currently serves as the treasurer of BeautifyEarth.org.
