Big-firm training. Real-world operator experience. And the independence to give you advice that's actually in your interest — not a firm's billable hour quota.
CPA · Principal & Managing Partner
Charles brings something rare to the accounting profession: genuine operating experience at the highest levels, combined with the technical rigor of a Big Four foundation.
He began his career at Deloitte & Touche, where he built the technical foundation that shapes how C. Henry Companies approaches every client engagement — audit-quality precision applied to real-world business problems. From there, he moved into the private sector, serving in senior financial roles at Sean John / Combs Enterprises, where he advised at the intersection of entertainment, licensing, and multimillion-dollar brand management.
He founded C. Henry Companies in 2003 with a specific mission: bring the expertise that Fortune 500 companies take for granted to the NJ small business owners and families who need it most — and charge them fairly for it. More than 20 years later, that mission hasn't changed.
Charles is a Rutgers University graduate and an active member of the New Jersey Society of CPAs and the AICPA. He has advised clients across industries including real estate, healthcare, professional services, restaurants, nonprofits, and technology — and has run his own businesses, so he understands the full weight of the decisions his clients face every day.
Every C. Henry client is supported by a team of experienced professionals — not handed off to junior staff. Our senior consultants bring the depth and continuity your engagement requires.
