She started at PriceWaterhouseCoopers in 2012, focusing on international partnerships in the private equity sector. She then worked at a global consulting firm, Alvarez & Marsal, advising clients on federal and state income tax matters. Natalie’s concentration at Alvarez was federal tax planning, compliance, and provision for both private and public companies in an array of industries.
