Joe McDonald

Class of 2020

I am currently a tax accountant at Ernst & Young in Atlanta, GA. Before joining EY, I graduated from the University of Alabama in 2019 with a B.S. in Commerce & Business Administration, with a major in Accounting. At Alabama, I was involved in leadership within my fraternity, Chi Phi, and volunteered for Culverhouse LIFT (a financial literacy program run through Alabama's business school that offered classes to people in the Tuscaloosa community). Upon graduation from Alabama, I completed a Master of Accounting in 2020 from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. During my time at Ross, I was involved in the MAcc student association and served as the Student Relations Co-Chair. In this role, I worked with fellow executive members and helped plan social events as well as build a sense of community within the MAcc program. I am originally from the Atlanta, Georgia area, and outside of work, I love to play golf and always have a game to watch on the TV. I am a huge Alabama fan, but love Michigan as well. I enjoy spending time with my pug, Chipper, and currently live in Atlanta. As Joe would say, "Roll Blue!"
