Meet Lilly

Hi Cousin, I’m Lilly.

There are quite a few titles attached to my name these days. I’m grateful for every one of them. But none of those titles, by itself, tells you who I am.

So if you really want to know me, we probably have to start much earlier. We have to go back to Cameroon.

Before I became Dr. Lilly

I was simply Lilly—a little girl with big dreams.

I grew up in Cameroon, surrounded by family, faith, hard work, and lessons I did not yet realize would shape the rest of my life.

One of my earliest examples of entrepreneurship was my mother. I watched her use her hands, her skills, and what she had available to create value for other people. I saw creativity. I saw service. I saw sacrifice.

At the time, I did not have words like entrepreneurship, stewardship, financial literacy, or generational impact. I simply saw someone work—and learned that what is placed in our hands can become a blessing far beyond us.

A little more about Lilly

The story behind the titles.

Faith, education, entrepreneurship, writing, speaking, family, and service are not separate versions of my life. They are chapters of one story that God is still writing.

01

Faith & Foundation

Faith was not added to my life later. It has shaped how I lead, love, teach, work, give, dream, and define success—including the seasons when I had to trust God without knowing what came next.

02

Education & Teaching

Becoming a CPA changed my career. Becoming an educator changed my life. I never want people to leave impressed by how much I know; I want them amazed by how much they now understand.

Entrepreneurship & The Ark

I built The Ark NPS to create a CPA firm where technical excellence and human connection coexist—where people can ask questions, understand their numbers, and plan with greater clarity.

Writing & Speaking

Knowledge should travel. Books and speaking let me teach, encourage, and give people something useful to carry home—something that changes a decision, a mindset, a business, or a family.

Some things I believe

The principles beneath the work.

  • God is good—even when life is hard.
  • Knowledge should be shared.
  • Family deserves our presence, not only our provision.
  • People matter more than transactions.
  • Faith and excellence belong in the same room.
  • Your gifts were never meant only for you.

I’m still becoming

This is not the story of everything I’ve done.

It is the story of what God has done so far. There are still things I want to learn, books I want to write, people I want to serve, places I want to see, ideas I want to build, and generosity I want to grow into.

“I cannot wait to see what He writes next.”
