Ms. Young oversees all HR functions at Manay CPA Accounting & Tax Services, including the firm’s Client HR Services practice, which helps businesses navigate employment compliance across all 50 U.S. states. For companies entering the U.S. market, she serves as a critical guide through one of its most complex challenges: a patchwork of state-by-state labor laws, wage requirements, and employment regulations that can create significant risk for organizations unfamiliar with the American system. Her team translates that complexity into clear, actionable guidance, allowing foreign entrants to build compliant, well-structured HR functions from day one.
Ms. Young’s expertise is rooted in a career built at the intersection of HR and international bridge-building. She has designed and led HR functions across distinctly different industries and cultural contexts — from aviation in Turkey to professional services in the U.S. — giving her a practical, ground-level understanding of how HR infrastructure must adapt across regulatory environments, business cultures, and workforce expectations. Long before entering HR formally, she was already working across borders: coordinating international programs in Colombia in partnership with the YMCA and the Colombian Ministry of Education, managing recruitment, staff training, and cross-institutional logistics across a multi-year initiative. That early experience connecting people and institutions across countries has remained the throughline of her career, whether she was coordinating programs abroad or now guiding international companies through U.S. employment compliance.
Fluent in Turkish and Spanish in addition to her native English, Ms. Young brings genuine cross-cultural fluency — not just language skills, but firsthand experience living and working in Colombia and Turkey — to her work with global businesses. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Public Health from the University of South Carolina and is TEFL-certified.
For foreign investors and entrepreneurs entering the U.S. market, Ms. Young pairs deep technical command of American employment compliance with a personal understanding of what it takes to build something new in an unfamiliar system — the exact perspective international businesses need as they establish their own operations here.
