As a child, Jonathan was an avid chess player and believes this contributed to his business acumen. In high school, he was on the cutting edge of emerging computer technology, taking a multitude of computer courses which were in their infancy.

After a short stint as Controller of the American Banker, Bond Buyer Newsletter companies on Wall Street, he followed his mentors to Congress Factors and Financial as an Assistant Controller. This firm, owned by PNC Bank, was eventually purchased by CIT Financial. During this period he built his own tax practice.
