Professional Background

Alexandra began her career in audit at Deloitte in San Francisco, where she spent two years serving clients in the financial services industry. She then transitioned into Deloitte’s Mergers & Acquisitions Transaction Services practice, advising private equity and corporate clients on both buy-side and sell-side transactions, with a focus on software companies. She managed end-to-end due diligence processes, including preparing quality-of-earnings reports, analyzing net working capital trends, and identifying key deal issues for clients. Her experience includes working with global private equity firms managing over $65 billion in assets under management.

In 2025, Alexandra joined Mission Wealth as the firm’s first finance department hire and is building out the internal finance function and leading key initiatives across financial reporting, planning, and operations to support the firm’s strategic growth.
