Experience
Alyson is a partner in Citrin Cooperman’s Commercial Tax Services Practice.
Alyson has over 10 years of accounting experience and works closely with small to mid-size companies in a wide range of industries, including entertainment, professional services, and real estate, in areas such as financial planning, consulting, tax, and accounting.
Previously, Alyson was a partner at Barkin, Perren, Schwager & Dolan, LLP (BPSD), which joined Citrin Cooperman in 2025. Alyson’s original career goal was to become a chief financial officer (CFO). She pursued an MBA while working as a bank manager, but in dealing with business owners and corporate officers, she realized that most of them had a CPA background. This inspired her to change her course of work to focus on accounting. After earning her CPA designation, Alyson became a staff accountant at a full-service CPA and business consulting firm, later joining BPSD.

WORK-LIFE BALANCE
Outside the Office
Alyson married her college sweetheart. Together they dreamed about moving to the West Coast for the weather and the lifestyle. They love spending their free time in their yard, learning about new plants and figuring out how they can incorporate them into our gardens. When a stressful day hits, they go outside and enjoy the serenity they have created.
