Jim Bechtel
Director, Assurance & Business Advisory Services
CPA

Walking the walk for decades. And he’s not tired yet.

Hurricane season comes in early spring for accountants, and Jim has been weathering the storms for 30 seasons and counting. His client relationships stretch back 20 years or more, and he’s a fixture in the Columbus business community.

He knows that business is about more than hype—about more than slick presentations or fancy sales pitches. Ask Jim, and he’ll tell you that success in business is "not what you say, it's what you do."

A leader, teacher, trusted partner and guide, Jim is admired by clients and associates alike.
