Bio
en A. Billings, CPA joined the Investment Services division of Perry Guest Companies in 2019. Prior to joining Perry Guest, Ben specialized in Private Equity tax at Ernst & Young for over five years. At Ernst & Young, Ben managed teams responsible for income tax analysis and restructuring of partnership and corporate business entities throughout the United States and worldwide. Ben’s background and specialty as a CPA is analyzing clients’ income tax profile from the standpoint of cash investment opportunity – emphasizing the value of minimizing taxability in the present to generate investment-ready cash that can grow into the future. In order to empower clients with a tax investment value proposition framework, Ben adapted and implemented corporate forecasts of operating income into detailed 5-year and 10-year tax planning models, which outlined and prioritized projects based on magnitude of the returns on investment. Ben’s planning models have generated millions of dollars in tax savings and continue to enable large corporations to align business growth and investment strategy with cash tax optimization.

Ben was a Tax Manager in the Los Angeles office and also performed CPA services in Ernst & Young’s Melbourne, Australia office. Ben’s reputation for client service and income tax expertise is evident with numerous lead speaking roles at the University of Southern California where his strong ties with the Leventhal School of Accounting and Marshall School of Business were forged through loyalty and contribution.
