We Guide Entrepreneurs Through the Corridors of Growth
Avoiding Tax Traps and Opening Doors to Wealth
At Corridor Consulting, we guide entrepreneurs through the complex corridors of tax, accounting, and business strategy—opening doors to wealth while shielding them from the costly mistakes that destroy dreams.
Unlike compliance-focused CPAs who treat entrepreneurs like risks to be managed, we serve as strategic partners—protecting what you’ve built, honoring the sacrifices behind it, and helping you scale with clarity and confidence.
Our CEO
James C. Yochum
James C. Yochum, CPA is the CEO and founder of Corridor Consulting and the creator of Corridor of Wealth™. He helps entrepreneurs build scalable, defensible, and legacy-ready businesses by turning financial complexity into clarity, control, and long-term strategy.
Unlike most CPAs drawn to predictability, James entered the profession with a mission—after witnessing how poor financial guidance can devastate even thriving businesses. At Corridor Consulting, he leads established entrepreneurs through the Prosperity Pathway™, a structured onboarding process that restores order and unlocks strategic growth. Through Corridor of Wealth™, he equips high-performing professionals to transition from employment to entrepreneurship with confidence.
James believes entrepreneurs aren’t problems to be managed—they’re legacy builders. His job is to make sure they walk through the right financial doors—with clarity, protection, and purpose.
Why I created Corridor Consulting
I didn’t stumble into this work—I chose it.
I studied business administration to understand how companies grow, lead, and build lasting value. Then I majored in accounting to master the systems behind those outcomes. That foundation, combined with CPA licensure and years of real-world advisory, allows me to guide entrepreneurs not just through tax season—but through pivotal financial decisions that shape their legacy.
Before founding Corridor Consulting, I witnessed the consequences of poor financial guidance: IRS levies halting payroll, penalties derailing expansion, and costly errors wiping out years of hard work.
I saw businesses with real potential collapse—not from lack of effort, but from generic advice designed for compliance, not command.
Entrepreneurs don’t need more rules.
They need the right guide. Someone who understands which financial corridors lead to opportunity—and which ones lead to disaster.
I founded Corridor Consulting to be that guide.
What makes us different
We don’t do transactional tax prep.
We design financial systems that scale with you, defend what you’ve built, and preserve what matters most.
We serve entrepreneurs earning $500K to $7.5M+ annually—those who’ve outgrown their bookkeeper or reactive CPA and are ready to build wealth with structure, clarity, and intention.
Our work doesn’t begin at filing deadlines.
It begins with alignment.
And it continues with systems that give you control, confidence, and a path to scale.
Our Signature 90-Day Process: Pathway to Prosperity™
We begin every engagement with our Pathway to Prosperity™, a high-impact onboarding experience designed to:
Diagnose risk and uncover hidden opportunities
Establish audit-ready financials and accurate books
Implement foundational tax, accounting, and reporting systems
Position you for financing, growth, or succession
By day 90, you’re not just caught up—you’re leveled up. You finally have the clarity to make smart decisions—and a strategic partner to help you do it.
From there, we move into monthly advisory, where we don’t just close your books—we help you open doors:
Doors to revenue strategies, cost control, and margin improvement
Doors to advanced tax positioning and entity optimization
Doors to generational wealth transfer, legacy planning, and exit strategy
And yes—doors that stay firmly shut to IRS penalties and audit risks
What You Can Expect
When you work with Corridor Consulting, you’re not hiring a vendor. You’re gaining a strategic financial partner who:
Builds systems, not band-aids
Prioritizes defense as much as growth
Understands business owners because we’ve advised hundreds
Treats your financial future like it’s our own
We stand behind every strategy, every report, and every decision we guide you through—because we don’t just prepare taxes. We prepare businesses for what’s next.
The Corridor Mindset
Entrepreneurs aren’t problems to be managed. They’re heroes building legacies—not just for themselves, but for their employees, their families, and their communities. They deserve advisors who see the full picture and stand beside them with strategy, clarity, and conviction.
At Corridor Consulting, we guide you through the complex corridors of tax, accounting, and business strategy—so you can walk through the right doors, with confidence.
