Meet decarlo
DeCarlo Smallwood was raised in eastern North Carolina and grew up the only child of a successful small business owner. As a result, business and finance were of great interest to her at a very early age. She began assisting her father with accounting and tax preparation functions for his business as early as 11 years of age.
Throughout her educational progression she completed and exceled in a wide array of courses in computers, business, and finance; including Accounting and has taken many continuing education courses in these and related fields over the years. DeCarlo started her career as an Office Manager for a small business. This position provided her with additional and abundant insight into how to be effective in all aspects of business as she was able to successfully work with clients, employees, and management for the betterment of the organization.
In 2006 she received her Insurance Licensure from the North Carolina Department of Insurance. She currently holds license in Property and Liability, Life and Health, and Medicare Supplement and Long Term Care. Working in the insurance industry, for one of the largest insurers in the U.S. was a perfect opportunity for growth and insight into corporate America.
In 2016 DeCarlo made the transition from employment in the corporate world of Insurance to that of Local Government Finance. As Accounting and Finance have always been her first loves this evolution allowed her to flourish; receiving two promotions in the period of two years. It also provided her with brilliant acumen to make sound business decisions and comprehension of yet another side of business and finance.
