George E Langdon IV is a business strategist for entrepreneurs and business owners looking for business efficiency, expansion, and succession. George brings practical guidance, insight, and his first-hand business experience gained over the past thirty-five years of business ownership and consulting. His previous roles as CEO, CFO, and business consultant generate continual requests for his C-suite experience and expertise. George finds immense satisfaction in providing confidence to business owners and tax strategists.
Originally intent on engineering, George began his business journey unexpectedly with the passing of his stepfather and the inheritance of the family business. With limited liquidity and multiple challenges, George met the challenge by doubling the business within a three-year time frame. His skill set to identify and implement growth strategies allowed the business to succeed.
Adapting with the times, George navigated from the family grocery delivery service to auto transportation and delivery. Using the same proven skill sets, he launched a new business and created an avenue for numerous business owners to remain solvent during the 2009 auto industry bankruptcies. He was hired consistently to advise on management issues and conduct training for increased production.
After selling his auto transportation business, George purchased a tax planning franchise to provide insight for business owners in regards to revenues that were being lost unknowingly and unnecessarily to taxes. He believes that creating tax-efficient strategies for personal and business situations places business owners and individuals back in control of their finances, instead of the government.
As a resident of Albany County since 1972, George remains community-focused and served as Treasurer for his local church and their local not-for-profit organization, which focuses on providing financial assistance for lower-income families through low-cost food, clothes, and furnishings.
In addition to his faith-based commitments, George embraced his patriotic responsibilities through his services as a Town of Coeymans councilman. During his service, he helped successfully negotiate PILOT programs with LaFargeHolcim and the Port of Coeymans. In addition, he consolidated services by merging our local emergency services dispatch with Albany County.
Business, Finance, Faith, and Patriotism are key interests you will find George pursuing daily. In addition, he enjoys sailing and time with his wife, Crystal, their three grown children, and five grandchildren.
