Phyllis 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.

Phyllis is a graduate of The Catholic University of America where she earned degrees in 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 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).

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. She resides in Maple Glen PA with her husband Ray. They enjoy frequent visits to the beach and spending time with their two adult children.

Get to know her in her own words:

What unusual skills or talents do you have that make you an individual?

I am a red-headed Italian. It is nearly impossible to hide in a crowd when you have red hair! And no one ever guesses my 100% Italian heritage. I am a musician and enjoy playing the piano and singing as a mezzo soprano. You can call me a Broadway fanatic. Still waiting for my Tony!

What is the best thing about your job?

I love knowing that I am making a direct impact on others on a daily basis. I thoroughly enjoy the collaboration with our team and with our clients. No two days are ever the same. It is exciting to provide confidence, through numbers, to our clients and to watch their excitement as they grow their businesses.
