Professional Experience

Josh Shilts is an industry-leading expert in forensic accounting and business valuation (“FVS”), a thought leader, educator, and entrepreneur who assists attorneys, individuals, and businesses with complex financial matters and disputes. A focused problem-solver, he is equal parts expert, sleuth, and engaging communicator who thrives on the challenges and demands of his career.

Josh thrives on the challenges and demands of his career. His natural curiosity and passion for learning stem from early childhood, as his father, a professor, and his mother, a teacher, highly encouraged their boys’ pursuit of knowledge. His brother went on to work in higher education, and even in Josh’s chosen profession, he naturally seeks to share the wisdom he has attained. Not only proven by his foundation of ShiltsSpeaksTM but also by a stint as an Adjunct Professor for Florida Atlantic University’s School of Accounting.

He has held roles with public accounting firms ranging in size from the “Big Four” to smaller regional and local firms, as well as large public organizations throughout Florida and New York. This history afforded him a broad range of experience managing hundreds of FVS matters involving civil, commercial, and criminal disputes, as well as cases identifying and quantifying fraudulent or disputed activities. Honored as “AICPA’s Business Valuation Volunteer of the Year” in 2022, Josh appreciates and supports the nonprofits of his profession and community and is involved with at least eight organizations.
