Jacob Dayan

Jacob Dayan was born and raised in the Chicago suburbs. He graduated from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business with a Bachelor of Business Administration. He began his career as a financial analyst in Bear Stearns’ industry-leading Financial Analytics and Structured Transactions group. Within months of joining, Jacob was responsible for managing a team of analysts modeling and securitizing new issue mortgage and asset-backed securities.

In early 2009, Jacob returned to Chicago where he co-founded Community Tax LLC (“CTax”), a full-service tax company. During his tenure as CEO, Jacob led CTax to year-over-year double-digit growth. Under his leadership, the company emerged as a nationwide leader in the tax resolution industry, setting the standard for customer service and helping tens of thousands of customers resolve over half a billion dollars in IRS and state tax delinquencies.

Today, having stepped away from his involvement with CTax, Jacob is the founder and principal of Dayan Capital, LLC (dayancap.com). Jacob leverages his extensive financial background and executive leadership experience to advise and scale businesses.

Jacob was involved in the launch of Consumer Law Group, in a consultancy capacity, where he assisted in the development of the human resources, marketing, and information technology departments. Jacob’s involvement at Consumer Law, inspired his return to law school at Mitchell Hamline School of Law, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude and received his Juris Doctor degree. He is licensed to practice law in Illinois. Jacob joined Consumer Law as a partner in 2018.
