His interest in numbers and financial systems started early and grew into a passion for accounting and finance. That passion led him to the University of Southern California, where he earned his Bachelor of Science in Accounting from the Marshall School of Business. His education at USC gave him the technical training and the confidence to begin his career.
Alexander started at PricewaterhouseCoopers, one of the Big Four accounting firms. At PwC, he worked with clients that included Fortune 500 companies and mid-sized firms. He gained experience in external audits, financial statement preparation, and regulatory compliance. The three years he spent at PwC built a strong foundation in financial integrity and gave him the discipline needed for a long career.
After PwC, Alexander transitioned to the private sector. At Toyota Motor Sales, he handled general ledger closings and financial statements for a division with $14.6 billion in revenue while coordinating with PwC auditors. He later became Principal at Singer, Burke & Company, managing audits, reviews, and business planning. Earlier, at Time Warner, he had served as Internal Audit Manager, conducting audits across divisions to ensure compliance.
At Toyota Financial Services, Alexander Atamian oversaw treasury accounting, $8 billion in investments, and $100 billion in debt management. Later, as Controller at Toyota Financial Securities Services, he introduced new controls that cut expenses by 15%. At MUSA Auto Finance, he served as Vice President of Finance, leading corporate finance and forecasting, contributing to a 25% profit increase.
Today, he is a Senior Consultant at Toyota Financial Services, handling technical accounting, SEC reporting, tax planning, and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. He works closely with executives to ensure financial clarity and alignment with business goals.
In addition to being a CPA, Alexander holds licenses in real estate, insurance, and mortgage lending. He is skilled with platforms such as SAP, NetSuite, Salesforce, Hyperion Essbase, Power BI, and SmartView. Outside work, he values fitness, wellness, and Christian principles that guide his personal and professional life.
