Who Pesach Woznica, Founder & CEO at Expat Tax and PW Tax
What Pesach runs a highly respected accounting firm, servicing US citizens living abroad with their complex multinational tax issues. But in addition to all the innovative ways the firm helps its clients, there’s one element about his business that stands out: His 24 employees are all chareidi women, and their work environment is of the highest standards of professionalism and modesty.
Where and Why Pesach’s story is real, relatable, and inspiring. Born and raised in Toronto, Pesach learned at Ner Yisroel there and then in Rav Chaim Ilson’s yeshivah in Jerusalem. He then returned to Toronto, where he completed his undergraduate degree at York University while learning full-time at Kollel Avreichim (under Rav Shlomo Miller and Rav Chanoch Ehrentreu). He got married, completed his CPA, and then moved back to Eretz Yisrael, expecting to attend Ner LeElef’s semichah program and then go into chinuch in a small community.
But Hashem had other plans. Somehow, he found himself back in Rav Ilson’s kollel, later moving to Aish, and then to the Mir. And what started as dabbling in accounting (filing tax returns) “on the side” to make ends meet, gradually turned into a full-time job — while keeping a full two sedorim in kollel. Feeling more comfortable with his professional trajectory and wanting to find the right community for his growing family, Pesach then moved to Ramat Beit Shemesh and grew his practice to over 20 employees. He balances his time with learning, exercise, and quality family time. He’s modest, always smiling, and an all-around awesome guy. I’ve looked up to him for a long time, and I’m excited to finally share his story and insights with you.
