10X Vets Member Spotlight: Jim Lawless, Navy Veteran

Our "Member in the Spotlight" for this month is Jim Lawless, a Naval Academy graduate, manufacturing executive turned cost-reduction consultant with Expense Reduction Analysts (ERA). Jim helps mid-sized companies identify hidden savings, optimize supplier relationships, and strengthen financial performance through data-driven spend analysis and vendor management.

Partnering with CEOs and CFOs, he provides solutions that improve efficiency and add cash back to the bottom line without increasing headcount.

During this month’s 10X Vets Entrepreneurial All Call, Jim shared how ERA’s “no savings, no fee” model and proprietary tools help businesses discover 15 to 20 percent savings in non-core expense categories. He also emphasized the importance of ongoing contract monitoring and strategic partnerships with CPAs, fractional CFOs, and wealth advisors to sustain long-term cost control and performance.

Jim’s approach blends hands-on experience with actionable strategy, empowering business owners to focus on growth while ensuring operational efficiency behind the scenes.

Thanks for being part of our 10X Vets community, Jim!
