Who
Miri Yoskowitz, partner at KPMG.
What
Miri studied accounting at Bais Yaakov, became a CPA, and began her accounting career at a small office in Yerushalayim. About 15 years ago, she transitioned to KPMG, one of the global “big four” accounting firms, and in 2016, she was promoted to partnership. She now works as an audit partner in KPMG’s Yerushalayim office, servicing global businesses and nonprofits.
Where
Miri was born and raised in Israel. (Her mother is from the US and her father is from Israel.) She and her husband Yossi live in Telshe Stone with their five children.
Why
I’m always on the lookout for relevant candidates for this column. So, when my friend, Rabbi Benji Levy (CEO of Mosaic United), began raving about Miri — his organization’s highly professional, warm, honest, and Torah-centered accountant — I was eager to learn more. And as I did, I was more impressed. Her priority is clearly her family; her deepest respect is for her husband’s Torah learning; and her focus is on creating the greatest possible kiddush Hashem — by how she conducts herself in a professional setting. It’s an honor and privilege to share her words of wisdom with you.
1 of 9 What opportunities or personalities played a role in your career?
I’m a “people person,” and that’s served me well in my career. Early on, I felt confident enough to connect with those in senior positions, like managers and partners within my own firm, as well as those in higher positions at our client companies.
