01 OUR FIRM
The whole picture.
A personal connection.
Exceptional tax and accounting service.
Since 2006, Ciola & Associates CPA, P.A. has built its Coral Gables practice around long-term relationships with international families, foreign investors, high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and privately held businesses investing and operating throughout the United States.
Our clients’ lives span businesses, investments, real estate, international assets, and goals that cross borders and generations. We take the time to understand how it all fits together.
A boutique firm by choice.
Personal attention by design.
We have deliberately built a focused, relationship-driven practice. You deserve an advisor who knows your history, understands your structure, notices when something does not look right, and is available when important decisions arise.
Many of the families we serve have been with us for years—some for nearly two decades. We have been alongside them as they acquired investments, established businesses, moved to the United States, expanded their families, and saw their financial lives evolve. That continuity matters.

International experience.
A personal perspective.
Originally from Argentina, Sandra brings more than 30 years of accounting and tax experience to international families, closely held businesses, and private clients. She earned her accounting degree and began her career as a CPA in Argentina before becoming a U.S. CPA and earning a Master’s Degree in Accounting from St. Thomas University.
Sandra spent five years as a manager in PwC’s U.S. Middle Market Group, serving privately held businesses and sports franchises on complex partnership, ownership, and tax matters. She later continued as an outside consultant to PwC while expanding her international tax experience, before founding Ciola & Associates in 2006.
