Hi! I’m Ari. I graduated magna cum laude with a BBA in Accounting from Georgia State University (GSU), followed by a Masters in Taxation from GSU. I’m also a licensed CPA, and my career began in Big 4 public accounting. After gaining valuable experience there, I pursued my MBA at Goizueta Business School at Emory University, and started a role as a Finance Manager at a leading FinTech company. Today, I’m working as an investment banker based in Atlanta.

During my time in the Masters of Taxation program, I worked as a teaching assistant for a Managerial Accounting class, supporting over 200 undergraduate business students. This role sparked my passion for helping students reach their goals and offering mentorship. Whether it was guiding them through complex homework problems, explaining subjects in more depth, or providing advice on career paths, I found it incredibly rewarding to see students succeed.

My teaching style is centered around practical, real-world examples, making the material not only easier to understand but also more relevant for long-term retention. My goal is to help you build a toolkit that you’ll use not just for exams but throughout your career.

I tailor my approach to fit each student’s unique learning style. Whether you already know how you learn best or are still figuring that out, I’m here to guide you on your journey to success. I’m committed to going above and beyond to help you reach the next level.

Feel free to reach out whenever you're ready, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. I look forward to working together in your next session!

Career Development

During my MBA, I served as president of the Consulting Club, where I successfully coached and mentored over 40 members through their recruiting efforts. This included guiding students in crafting standout resumes, delivering compelling elevator pitches, excelling in case studies, and mastering networking strategies. Under my leadership, 10 students pivoted into new roles, achieving their career goals. I have a strong passion for helping students navigate the complexities of recruiting and making career switches, especially for consulting and investment banking roles. Having navigated three distinct recruiting cycles—public accounting, FP&A, and investment banking—I bring firsthand experience in career transitions and strategic moves. My passion is helping students, especially those with non-traditional backgrounds, make informed decisions to navigate complex recruiting landscapes and achieve their professional aspirations.

Fantastic Investment Banking prep -- offer secured

I highly recommend Ari if you’re trying to break into investment banking or high finance. Ari was my tutor during recruiting, and it was through his help that I was landed an offer as an analyst at an elite boutique (Think Lazard, Evercore, Rothschild, etc.) . I’ve tried several different tutors before coming across Ari, and I can confidently say that he is the best. He genuinely cares about your success and learning, and he will go above and beyond matching your work ethic every step of the way. Furthermore, he is fantastic at explaining complex concepts in a simple, highly absorbable, and nonjudgmental way. I went from being at a very introductory level starting with no corporate finance exposure, to having a very strong grasp of banking technicals, valuations (DCF, LBO, Comps), being able to build models, and being superday ready in under a month. He was my partner throughout the recruiting journey, and provided clear directions on how to best navigate learning, and the interview preparation process. If you're serious about investment banking, Ari is the person you want in your corner.

Incredibly Helpful Finance Tutor!

Ariel was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I appreciate how patient he was and how he was able to explain the concepts for me to quickly understand. We worked on Financial Modeling, Forecasting, Pivot Tables, etc. Ariel was great to work with and I appreciate his flexibility and willingness to accommodate my schedule. He went above and beyond to help me feel confident for my FP&A interview and happy to say I received the job offer! Would definitely recommend Ariel for anyone in need of a great Finance tutor.

Investment Banking

I worked with Ari in 2025 in preparing for interviews in investment banking. He is extremely knowledgeable and patient. Ari was passionate about helping me achieve my goals and strengthen compression on challenging concepts. He was available for last minute questions before a final interview. I would highly recommend his services. Outstanding.

Best tutor ever

I can’t recommend Ari enough as a CPA tutor! He’s incredibly calm and patient, always taking the time to explain complex topics thoroughly. His teaching style makes everything so much clearer, and he even provides practice questions to reinforce what I’ve learned. Ari helps me plan out my study schedule, adapting to what works best for me, and he’s very flexible with timing. Working with him has made such a difference, and I genuinely look forward to each session!
