Anchor Ape | Eric James
USN Veteran | Licensed Tax Preparer | Enrolled Agent Candidate

You’re working too hard to be leaving money on the table.

You didn’t build your business to overpay on taxes. You didn’t invest in real estate to wonder if you’re doing it right. And you definitely didn’t sacrifice this much to leave your family unprotected.

But here’s the truth: most business owners and investors are losing thousands every year. Not because they’re careless. Because nobody taught them the strategies that keep wealth where it belongs…. With you.

That uneasy feeling you get when tax season comes around? That’s your gut telling you something’s missing.

I’m Eric James. The Anchor Ape. And I help you stop guessing and start protecting what you’ve built.

THE REAL COST OF NOT KNOWING

Every single day, business owners leave money on the table. Not because of bad luck because we weren’t taught the game. Books that don’t tell the full story. Tax returns with missed deductions. Business structures that work against you instead of for you.

 

You feel it in your spirit:

• “Am I paying way too much in taxes?”
• “What happens if I get audited and my books aren’t right?”
• “Is my business actually profitable, or am I just staying busy?”
• “If something happens to me, will my family know what to do?”

 

These questions don’t haunt you because you’re messing up. They haunt you because you care. Because you sacrificed to build something real. And you know there’s got to be a better way to protect it.

That’s exactly why I do this work.

 

FROM SURVIVAL TO STRUCTURE

I’m from Montgomery Village, Maryland. I watched my people work themselves to the bone and still struggle not because they weren’t smart or hardworking, but because nobody showed them how to build systems that actually protect wealth.

The Navy gave me discipline. On deployment with the USS Boxer LHD 4, I came across a mural aboard of an Ape holding two anchors, and it became more than an image, it became a reminder of faith, discipline, and resiliency 

Anchor = Faith. Focus. Systems that hold strong when life hits hard.

Ape = Instinct. Nonstop work ethic. The drive to rise and win.

Result = Wealth that grows, stays protected, and gets passed down to your children.

I became a Licensed Tax Prepare and Enrolled Agent candidate to master the tools that turn financial stress into financial freedom.

Serving as the offensive coordinator, managing tax strategy and financials, while also acting as head coach by providing business consulting and guiding overall growth. Our clients receive a two-in-one solution: expert accounting combined with strategic business leadership. 

 

I SOLVE THE PROBLEMS KEEPING YOU UP AT NIGHT

I’m not just doing your taxes. I’m building the foundation between you and financial disaster.

 

Tax Preparation & Strategy

Stop overpaying Uncle Sam and start keeping what’s rightfully yours. I find every deduction, every credit, every legal strategy others overlook.

Business Systems & Support

Your books are scattered. Your cash flow is unpredictable. Your growth feels shaky. I install the systems that turn the grind into something sustainable and scalable.

Financial Education & Coaching

Our community didn’t get financial literacy passed down. I teach you what matters and help you actually do it no confusing terms, just straight results.

Real Estate & Entrepreneur Support

If you’re investing in property or building a business, you face unique risks. I create tax plans and structures that protect your assets and multiply your opportunities.

 

FROM WORRY TO CONFIDENCE

My clients don’t walk through my door because everything’s perfect. They come because something feels off. Like they’re working hard but not seeing the results they should. Like there’s money slipping through the cracks.

They leave with:

Clarity. You know exactly where your money is, where it’s going, and what you really owe. No more guessing.

Control. Systems running in the background so you can focus on growing instead of wondering if you’re doing it right.

Confidence. A real plan that protects what you’ve built and sets your family up for generations.

This is resource driven. Every single thing I recommend either saves you money, protects what’s yours, or helps you grow it.

This is client focused. Your cash flow, your risks, your family’s future drive every decision I make.

This is faith driven. I root my work in values that outlast market crashes, recessions, and whatever else life throws at us.

 

YOU HAVE A CHOICE RIGHT NOW

You can keep doing what you’re doing. Keep hoping your taxes are right. Keep wondering if there’s a better way.

Or you can make the move every successful business owner eventually makes: stop guessing and start building real structure.

That uneasy feeling you have? That’s wisdom. That’s knowing you’ve worked too hard to leave anything to chance.

 

I am your solution.

I’m the structure standing between your hustle and the money you’re leaving behind. I’m the strategy that gives you peace of mind. I’m the plan that turns uncertainty into legacy.

 

I am The Anchor Ape.

And I’m here to protect what you built, secure your family’s future, and make sure your children inherit wealth not struggle.

Let’s build a legacy that actually lasts.

 

Discipline. Strategy. Faith. Execution.
