Chad Cummings Bio
I have served in operations and finance with the world’s largest accounting firm, airline, and bank. Most recently, I developed business intelligence and reporting on commercial banking clients in the Dallas and Chicago offices at JPMorgan across a variety of industry verticals—with a special emphasis on FIG and CRE clients.. In 2019, I chose to pivot from my career in finance to pursue law as my next profession. I am now an attorney and admitted to The Florida Bar.. I completed my Juris Doctor on full tuition merit scholarship in May 2022 and was recognized with the Frances Xavier Cabrini award for contributions to the school’s clinical program.. While in law school, I served on the Law Review Editorial Board where my monograph—Transhumanism: Morality and Law at the Frontier of the Human Condition—was selected for publication in the school’s law journal.. I passed the Florida Bar Examination in July 2022 and am awaiting my results from the February 2023 administration of the Texas Bar Examination.. Following the completion of my J.D., I joined the Real Property Development LL.M. program at the University of Miami School of Law.. I hold active CPA licensure in Florida and Texas and undergraduate and graduate degrees in accounting and taxation from Southern Methodist University in Dallas.. Previously, I supported capital investment decision-making and financial reporting for the commercial real estate and legal divisions at American Airlines at their headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas.. Prior to that, I co-founded Food on the Fly, a data mining and logistics startup leveraging mobile connectivity and transactional analytics to deliver premium meals in-terminal to transiting, time-constrained air passengers. My work on this venture is ongoing.. Before making the jump to the entrepreneurial realm, I began my career in the private equity and financial services tax compliance and consulting practice (“SALT-FS”) at PricewaterhouseCoopers in their Dallas office where I engineered technical solutions to more effectively serve VC/PE clients including Texas Pacific Group, Goldman Sachs, First Reserve, HGGC, and others.. I also hold the Certified Management Accountant, Certified Internal Auditor, and Certified Fraud Examiner credentials; I am pursuing the CFA charter and admission to the Texas bar.. In my spare time, I freelance as a journalist and researcher exploring the taxation, valuation, and novel applications of virtual assets. I also serve as a mentor and coach for university-age small business creators. I live and work in sunny South Florida.
