“I basically always knew that I was going to make aliyah,” she said. “So I chose to go into accounting because that was what was going to get me to Israel long term.”

Today, Duskis, a 2009 graduate of Touro University’s Lander College of Arts & Sciences, is a partner in EisnerAmper’s financial services practice in Israel, advising global investors, multinational funds, and individuals navigating complex cross-border tax realities. Her work spans Israel, the United States, Europe, Asia, and Latin America and centers on the highly specialized intersection of international taxation and private equity.

“It’s a unique skill set,” she said. “I have both the international piece and the private equity language, and that lets me help people in ways that are really meaningful.”

Building expertise—and roots in Israel

After earning her CPA, Duskis moved to Israel and joined PwC in Tel Aviv, where she gained unusually broad exposure to corporate, partnership, and individual taxation.

“When you’re at the U.S. tax desk in Israel, you see everything,” she said. “I kind of had this very varied taste of accounting, even within the Big Four accounting firms.”

That range of experience prepared her for a far more entrepreneurial challenge: helping establish and grow EisnerAmper’s presence in Israel. Over nearly a decade, she played a central role in expanding the office from a small startup operation into a thriving professional team of more than 30 employees, contributing to client development, technical leadership, and the firm’s growing reputation in the region.

“Now I look around and see how much it’s grown, and it’s incredible,” she said.

Her elevation to partner reflects not only technical mastery, but years of building client relationships, expanding business, and shaping strategy—milestones that mark one of the profession’s highest levels of trust and responsibility.

Education as a foundation

Duskis enrolled at Touro after spending her gap year in Israel, completing her degree on an accelerated timeline while preparing for the CPA exam. She credits the rigor of Touro’s accounting program and the close mentorship of faculty with preparing her for advancement in a demanding global field.

“The accounting program at Touro is next level,” she said. “It’s a very high level of education, and the professors were able to mentor us and really pay attention to each student.”

That preparation became the intellectual and professional base on which she built her international career and eventual partnership.

Achievement and gratitude

For Duskis, professional success carries meaning beyond title or position. Her work enables her to guide clients through complex financial realities while supporting her family and contributing to the broader economic and professional landscape connecting Israel and the United States.

“I’m supporting my family, Baruch Hashem,” she said. “The fact that I’ve been able to do that is just a miracle, and I’m very grateful.”

She traces that success back to the opportunities she received at Touro, including the Dean’s Scholarships that helped make her education possible.

“We’re here because I got those Dean’s Scholarships, and because I came out of Touro with an amazing education,” she said. “It made all the difference.”
