Hi, I’m James – founder of Green Ladder Consulting. I started this business after spending nearly a decade in accounting and finance roles in New York City, where I worked with CFOs, executives, and business owners across many industries.

I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in accounting and finance from Florida State University and hold an active CPA license. My career began at Deloitte, where I audited Fortune 500 companies and private equity firms. From there, I joined Alvarez & Marsal’s Transaction Advisory Group, guiding CFOs through buy- and sell-side due diligence. Later, I transitioned to Warner Music Group, where I helped evaluate global artist deals and presented financial reporting to the CFO and Board of Directors.

These experiences taught me what business leaders really need: a strong foundation and timely, clear insights that support better decisions. That’s why I established Green Ladder Consulting – to bring that same high-level financial discipline to small business owners without the corporate overhead.

If you’re looking for a trusted advisor who goes beyond the basics – someone who understands the big picture and can free you up to focus on growth – I’d love to connect.
