General Ledger — Treasury & Payments Advisory
Treasury insight, without the decade it usually takes to earn it.
Abel Consulting Group advises banks, treasury teams, and legal teams on payments and treasury decisions that are hard to get right from the outside — drawn from experience inside acquisitions, international expansion, and complex banking structures at lean, SOX-controlled companies.

Independence
Every recommendation is based on what's right for your situation — never on which relationship pays me.
I take no kickback, referral fee, or preferred-partner arrangement from any bank or payment provider. That read comes from sitting inside enough live, high-stakes treasury decisions to compress a decade of expertise into every engagement.
What I don't take
- Referral fees from banks
- Kickbacks from payment providers
- Preferred-partner arrangements
What that buys you
- Advice with nothing riding on which vendor you pick
- A read you can actually act on
- No hidden math behind the recommendation
