David Young’s journey began in the farm fields, where he learned the value of hard work, resourcefulness, and resilience. But working hard wasn’t enough—he realized that real success comes from solving tough problems. That mindset carried him from small-town beginnings to negotiating deals with billionaire investors and leading multimillion-dollar financial strategies.

After experiencing the frustration of an unexpected, massive tax bill, David had a turning point. He saw firsthand how business owners were left scrambling at tax time, reacting instead of planning. He knew there had to be a better way. That’s when he co-founded Iron Bridge Solutions, building a tax strategy model that projects tax liabilities in real-time, allowing business owners to take control of their finances and execute real tax-saving strategies before it’s too late.

David’s background in finance is extensive. He directly underwrote over $600 million in commercial loans, played a key role in large-dollar acquisitions for the U.S. Air Force, and was a key member of a $270 million, eight-year contract with Lockheed Martin. As an entrepreneur, he founded and scaled a company in the energy sector, generating over $75 million in sales—learning firsthand the challenges of cash flow, growth, and, most importantly, tax burdens.

Now, as a tax strategist and business advisor, David helps entrepreneurs navigate the complexities of finance, cash flow, and tax planning—ensuring they not only work hard but work smart. His mission is simple: help business owners keep more of what they earn, eliminate tax surprises, and build long-term financial success.
