alliantgroup has announced the addition of Ashley Fingarson, former Manager of Legislative Affairs at the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), to the firm’s Washington national office. In her new role as alliantgroup’s Director of Legislative Affairs, Fingarson will continue advocating for the rights of small and midsized businesses, ensuring that their voice is heard in Congress with respect to legislation and tax policy.

“I am thrilled to be joining such a first-class organization,” said Fingarson. “Since I began my career, supporting small businesses has always been my true passion. As the daughter of a small business owner, this issue has always had a personal connection for me and I am looking forward to continuing this work with alliantgroup.”
