JAMES COLE
James started his small business journey in 2009 at Cleveland State, graduating in 2011 with a Business Administration degree with an emphasis in accounting. He also received a certificate in Advanced Accounting and recognition and membership as a Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society member. James continued his education at Tennessee Wesleyan in Athens, TN, earning his B.S. Degree in Business Management in 2013. He received Cum Laude honors recognition.
Immediately starting work with the Summitt Family, who owned several businesses and rental properties in Chattanooga, James assisted with tax, accounting, human resource, and general management for all their organizations.

James and his Cleveland team have since stepped away from DBS Tax and are very excited to have recently opened Cleveland Business Services. With a bright and exciting future ahead, James and his team invite you to be a part of it.
