Ed Barton, Esq. CPA

I enjoy teaching others about finance, the law, and cars -- usually in that order. I have over 25 years of tax compliance, turnaround management, and financial and executive management experience to bear to any business problem. 

I led teams in a broad range of financial and operational roles - from tax consulting, leading and managing accounting and finance teams, audit preparation and defense, systems management and design, bookkeeping and tax preparation, risk management, underwriting, and modeling functions of a large consumer credit debt buyer to running a private equity backed marketing firm as CEO.

I earned a JD from Northwestern California University, an MBA from Syracuse University, a BBA in finance from Notre Dame, an LL.M. with Merit in Economic Regulation from the University of London and I recently completed a Doctorate in Leadership Studies from Marshall University. I'm a CPA (FL, WA), CFA and attorney admitted to practice in CA and WA.
