Meet Alysia, The Mind Behind
Dahir Tax & Accounting

Hi, I’m Alysia R. Dahir—a former IRS Agent, lifelong learner, and passionate advocate for community, education, and knowledge-sharing.
With nearly two decades of experience spanning government service, corporate finance, and business consulting, I bring a deep and dynamic understanding of accounting, tax systems, and strategic business planning.

Tax Expert, Strategist, Leader

My professional journey began in the Federal Government, working with the Department of Treasury (IRS) and the Department of Defense on both academic and military projects. Those years taught me how to navigate complex systems, think analytically, and build strong partnerships—all of which continue to shape the way I work today…

Learnings and Education

Education has always been a driving force in my life. I hold an MBA in International Business and Finance, a BS in Accounting from ASU’s W.P. Carey School of Business, and pursued executive education in sustainable systems and anthropology. I’m also engaged in the CPA path and proud to be a member of several professional organizations including AICPA and the Accounting & Financial Women’s Association.

Keynote Speaker

Beyond finance, I thrive on bringing people together. I’m a TEDx Organizer and have helped curate global events like TEDxRoma and TEDxBeaconStreet. I also co-founded DQDinc, a nonprofit focused on education, and serve as Project Director for the Arizona Consortium for the Arts. Whether it’s in a boardroom or on a stage, I believe in the power of ideas, collaboration, and continuous learning.

In every role I take on, my goal is simple: to help others succeed by sharing what I know, listening to what they need, and building solutions that make a real impact.

A Mission Grounded in People

My mission is to serve with clarity, integrity, and purpose. I believe financial knowledge should be accessible, empowering, and human. For many people, finances and taxes feel overwhelming or impersonal. I want to change that. I want people to feel seen, supported, and truly understood when they step into spaces that often feel complex or intimidating.

Gradually, I’ve learned that my role is not just to solve problems, but to walk beside people through some of their most uncertain moments. Whether I’m helping an individual file a return, guiding a nonprofit through regulatory challenges, or working with a business to realign its strategy, my purpose stays the same. I show up with honesty, compassion and dedication.

As an Former IRS Agent, I know how the system works from the inside. That experience gives me the tools to advocate more powerfully for those who don’t always feel they have a voice. I’m also an educator at heart. I believe in sharing what I know, teaching with patience, and never holding back knowledge that could help someone else succeed.

My mission is not just about numbers. It’s about people. It’s about helping others build lives and businesses rooted in clarity and confidence. It’s about being the kind of guide I would want for myself.

A Vision for Impact

I envision a world where people no longer feel intimidated by their finances or disconnected from their potential. I see a future where knowledge is not gatekept, but generously shared. Where support feels personal. Where businesses grow with a strong foundation, and individuals make decisions with courage and clarity.

My vision is to create spaces where finance and purpose intersect. Where people are not just surviving tax season, but actually thriving year-round because they understand their financial landscape. I want to help build a world where systems work better, not harder, and where transparency, ethics, and empathy are at the core of professional service.

I also believe in the power of community and conversation. That’s why I engage with people beyond the spreadsheet. Through platforms like TEDx, nonprofit initiatives, and educational programs, I aim to lift voices, spark ideas, and inspire change. To me, leadership is about listening deeply, sharing freely, and building something greater together.

In every role I take on, I want to bring people closer to their goals and help them feel grounded in their journey. Because when we understand our finances, we unlock something powerful — agency, freedom, and the ability to shape a life that reflects who we truly are.

MBA, Former IRS Agent, TEDx Organiser, Managing Partner, Dahir Tax & Accounting Firm

My path has taken me through government halls, corporate boardrooms, nonprofit circles, and creative communities. What I’ve learned is that no matter where we come from, we all want to feel understood, supported, and equipped to move forward. My work is about being that steady hand—someone who sees the whole picture, listens deeply, and helps turn complexity into clarity. That’s where transformation begins.
