Lisa loves working on the tax side of the investment industry. The continual introduction of new investment options gives her the opportunity to learn something new every day — and to provide new information and alternatives to clients.

She also assists with reviews of, and issues relating to, RIC quarterly and annual qualification tests. Lisa has expertise regarding tax considerations for start-up mutual funds, as well as issues arising from mergers and acquisitions. She has a range of clients from single start up equity funds to large series trusts with multiple funds and alternative investments.
