Alexandra leverages her legal background and extensive public accounting experience to advise tax-exempt organizations, donors and investment funds with respect to the complexities associated with the tax law affecting exempt organizations and charitable giving.
Previously an associate at two large international law firms, Alexandra honed her exempt organization specialty in public accounting, where she expanded her client portfolio and experience to include healthcare organizations and philanthropic planning for ultra high net worth individuals and family offices. She provides transactional analysis and planning for exempt organizations and their donors and represents clients before the Internal Revenue Service with respect to IRS examinations, private letter rulings and applications for recognition of tax-exempt status.
Alexandra enjoys RSM’s collaborative and supportive work environment. She appreciates that the firm’s five characteristics of first-choice advisors—caring, curious, collaborative, courageous, critical thinkers—are the core of RSM’s culture. She is a frequent thought leader and speaker on topics related to exempt organizations and a member of the firm’s STAR employee network group, which supports high-performing women on their path to success.
When she’s not advising clients, Alexandra can be found traveling the world. She has visited all 50 U.S. states, nearly 40 countries, six continents and has hiked Mount Kilimanjaro.
