How Ali is building a better working world

I’ve always been driven by taking knowledge and rules to find solutions for complex problems. Indirect Tax has been a perfect blend of applying technical rules to specific facts to reach a reasonable conclusion. Throughout my career, teaming with our people has been critical to achieving successful outcomes for our clients. I continuously challenge myself and others to ask, “Do you make the people around you better?”
