With over a decade of experience in public accounting, Alissa serves as an advisor to her clients delivering assurance and advisory services, with a specialization in privately held and private equity-owned businesses, as well as nonprofit organizations and employee benefit plans.

Alissa is relied on by clients to ensure they meet complex accounting and auditing standards, while providing financial visibility into the organization. Her professional background also allows her to offer valued insights beyond audit engagements, guiding clients through financial complexities in business acquisitions, net working capital disputes, corporate turnarounds and forensic cases.

She is thoroughly trained in the intricacies of employee benefit plan accounting and auditing. Having performed over 100+ audits in her tenure at the firm, she plays a pivotal role in conducting and supervising annual audits for 401(k), defined benefit and pension plans for the firm’s clients.

She forms collaborative partnerships to guide them through unique audit requirements, tax- exemption issues, administrative complexities and regulatory burdens. Serving as the finance committee chair of a local nonprofit, she is able to bring a unique perspective to clients as she understands both the internal and external accounting needs of organizations.
