I’m Dr. Lilly Mbinglo, CPA.
I am an Accounting Professor at Regent University, author, TEDx speaker, entrepreneur, and founder of The Ark NPS, a top-rated CPA firm. I love God, I love people, I love learning, I love teaching, I love giving, I love building, and I love helping others discover how much is possible for their lives.
This little corner of the internet is where all the pieces of my life come together.
However you found me
Maybe you heard me speak, saw me on television, read one of my books, discovered my CPA firm, sat in one of my classrooms, or met me somewhere along the way.
However you got here, I’m grateful you did. Stay awhile.
Faith & Notes
I leave handwritten notes in unexpected places because we walk past people every day without knowing what they are carrying. Someone may be smiling while grieving, successful while exhausted, or surrounded by people and still feel alone. Sometimes a few handwritten words can interrupt a difficult day.
God sees you.
You are not invisible.
You do not have to know how everything will work out to keep moving.
Rest when you need to.
Then take the next step.

Meet Dr. Lilly
Through my work as a CPA, educator, entrepreneur, speaker, and author, I help individuals and business owners gain greater clarity around their finances, make smarter decisions, build stronger businesses, and pursue success with purpose.
At The Ark NPS, I provide accounting, tax, advisory, and business solutions designed to help entrepreneurs and organizations move beyond simply managing their finances to using them strategically.
Through my books, teaching, speaking, and everyday conversations, I share practical tools, real-life lessons, and strategies that help people grow, not only in business, but in life.
Read My Bio →A message close to my heart
Gratitude does not mean pretending life is perfect. It means refusing to let what is missing make us blind to what is already present. It has carried me through hard seasons, kept success in perspective, and taught me to recognize ordinary moments as extraordinary gifts.
I had the privilege of carrying this message to the TEDx stage. It remains one of the clearest ways to understand who I am beyond the titles.

Notes From Lilly
Short reflections about faith, gratitude, family, purpose, business, and the things I am still learning.
Your life is not running on someone else’s clock. Keep building faithfully.

The Lilly Mbinglo Foundation
We put faith into action by creating pathways to education, economic empowerment, practical support, and possibility.
Sometimes faith looks like prayer. Sometimes faith looks like paying a school fee. Both matter.
