Jim knows that for complex organizations and investors, assurance is not just about compliance—it is about confidence at every stage of growth and transaction. As Assurance Partner in Charge and Co-Founder of Calvetti Ferguson, Jim brings decades of experience guiding companies through high-stakes financial, operational, and strategic decisions.
While his foundation was built at PwC and strengthened through executive leadership roles within multinational, publicly traded energy and technology organizations, Jim’s true value lies in his ability to operate at both the boardroom and operational level. From leading mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures as a Corporate Vice President to serving as CFO of an international E and P company with assets across the Middle East and North Africa, Jim provides the institutional insight typically reserved for large global enterprises.
