about me
Alexander ("Allie") Tepper has fifteen years of professional experience across finance and policy and since 2014 has been advising small and medium-sized professional services firms (such as architects, engineers and lawyers) on financial and management issues. He has advised nearly three dozen firms on their internal ownership transitions and external sales, helped firms implement changes in project and financial management to improve cash flow and profitability issues, revamped firms’ financial reporting to help clients rely on sound and relevant financial data when managing their businesses, and helped facilitate strategic planning sessions for senior management.
Mr. Tepper’s previous experience includes stints as a strategy consultant to financial institutions and performing financial analysis of clients’ businesses for Credit Suisse, a top-tier investment bank. In these roles, he examined business plans, applied state of the art techniques to assess firms’ key financial metrics and the drivers of profitability, and structured contracts to align incentives between the parties and unlock hidden value. He received his BA in Physics cum laude from Princeton University and his PhD in Economics from the University of Oxford.
Mr. Tepper also has a strong interest in design and designs scenery for theater as an avocation. From 2003-2014, he was a trustee of Princeton Summer Theater, which he co-managed in 2001 to an artistically and financially successful season. Driven to take these pursuits to the next level, he recently began working towards his Master of Architecture degree at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation.
