STAFF BIOGRAPHIES
SABRINA CIARLEGLIO
When she’s not quoting “Moonstruck” and laughing with her family as they plan their next adventure, Sabrina is the President and a founder of DiLeo & Charles. With a degree in accounting, she has been in the Management and Bookkeeping profession since 1995. In 2005, she became the sole owner of a contracted bookkeeper services business, joining the QuickBooks ProAdvisor program in 2007. Sabrina’s consistency and reliability in meeting her clients’ needs arise from her loyal dedication to them as individuals; their loyalty to her in return has led to numerous referrals and a present client roster of great depth and width. And one more thing: when you meet her, ask her why she never leaves home without her watch…
WHAT’S THE MOST RIDICULOUS FACT YOU KNOW?

WHAT MOVIE WOULD BE GREATLY IMPROVED IF IT WAS MADE INTO A MUSICAL?
“This may not be a popular answer, but I despise all musicals. I will admit La La Land wasn’t horrible.”

“My watch. I’ve been addicted to checking the time since I was a small child. On the rare occasion that I forget to put one on, I feel lost.”
DO YOU HAVE A MOVIE THAT YOU CAN QUOTE FROM START TO FINISH?
“Hands down, Moonstruck. Princess Bride is a close second.”
WHY DID YOU WATCH IT SO MUCH?
“Cher, New York in the 80’s, a Puccini opera at the MET, what more is there to say? “
