Phyllis Ludwig founded Ludwig Business Consultants to fulfill a lifelong, entrepreneurial dream to inspire confidence in others to achieve their highest potential. Beginning with her first business client on March 1, 2002, Phyllis has grown the firm into a full-service, cutting-edge outsourced accounting practice serving multi-million-dollar corporations across the country. With a specialization in the lower middle-market companies, mergers and acquisitions, and excelling beyond clients’ expectations, her vision to create a better future for each person she meets is being met.

Phyllis graduated from The Catholic University of America (summa cum laude) with degrees in both Accounting and Economics. She received her Executive MBA from the Temple University Fox School of Business where she was awarded the Dean’s Certificate of Excellence. She is a Certified Public Accountant and is CAS certified by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). 

With a 30-year history of strengthening and improving the results of organizations as a Senior Financial Manager and backed by her foundational experience as an auditor with Arthur Andersen in Washington, D.C., Phyllis continues to effectively lead, develop, and execute strategic plans to meet and exceed clients’ needs. She is an expert in implementing internal financial management reporting systems and is experienced with external bank, government, tax, and audit relationships. Her proven experience with mergers and acquisitions—including the sale of Cornell Dubilier to Knowles in September 2023, and of NWL to AMSC in August 2024—has experts in the field seeking contracts with her.

Her personal touch with each firm inspires confidence among LBC’s clientele and staff. Leading by example, she strives for excellence in the firm’s outsourced accounting services and is proud to be a certified Women’s Business Enterprise (WBENC). Recently, she completed the prized certification of WOSB, enabling LBC to do business with the federal government.

Phyllis is active in her community, serving on several boards and advisory councils for civic organizations and her church. She is both a participant and a supporter of the arts and has sponsored endowments with Temple University and The Catholic University of America.
