Rhona Vogel, Bus Ad ’76, was elected to the Marquette University Board of Trustees in 2002.
She is a CPA and investment advisor representative, and the CEO and founder of Vogel Consulting Group. Rhona began her career as an Internal Revenue Agent and soon after began her climb through the ranks at Arthur Andersen. In 1987 she was named one of Andersen's first female tax partners, where she led the Family Wealth Planning Group.
In 1993, Rhona recognized an unfulfilled need in the wealth management industry. Her clients, affluent individuals and business owners, desired a depth of integrated services in tax, estate, and unbiased investment advisory. As a result, she formed Vogel Consulting - a truly independent multi-family office. Since inception, Vogel has been at the forefront of the growing multifamily office industry. Recently, Vogel Consulting was ranked by its peers as one of the top ten "toughest competitors" in Family Wealth Alliance's 2011 Multifamily Office Study and ranked by Bloomberg Markets Magazine in their listing entitled: "Top 50" Family Offices.
Rhona founded her firm around the concept of integration. She is passionate about her firm's customized approach and thinks and acts solely in her client's best interest, in the areas of investment planning, taxation, business operation, estate structuring, financial consulting and family education. Rhona is actively involved with many of the firm's largest client families and when she is not advising her clients, she's often speaking on topics ranging from family office best practices to future tax legislation and investment strategies.
In addition to her role as a trustee, Rhona gives of her time and expertise on the board of the Wisconsin Historical Foundation. She is a member of the American Institute for Certified Public Accountants, Wisconsin Institute of Certified Accountants, and serves on the boards of several private family foundations.
She is a member of the Marquette University President's Society and the Marquette University Legacy Society.
