Lissa Perez
About
Lissa Perez ‘91 grew up in Richmond, Indiana. After seeing her older sister’s “outstanding experience” at Miami, particularly with the Luxembourg program, Lissa decided to become a Miamian as well. Her classes convinced her to pursue an accountancy major and helped her land an internship at Deloitte the summer after her second year.
Like her sister, Lissa studied in Luxembourg, where she spent her entire junior year. Her love of travel and learning about different cultures led her to focus on global opportunities at Deloitte when she started working there full-time. Having remained with the firm for over 30 years, Lissa now serves as the private audit leader in Deloitte’s McLean, Virginia, office. In her current role, Lissa enjoys being a trusted business adviser and having the opportunity to work with executives and board members from a wide array of businesses and industries.
“I enjoy working with my teams and learning about different businesses and industries. It is rewarding to be a trusted adviser to my clients and be a “go to” person when they are tackling challenges.”
