Julio González has built a career proving that the tax code can be one of the most powerful tools for creating wealth, opportunity, and long-term growth. As the founder and CEO of Engineered Tax Services, González transformed what many business owners see as a stressful obligation into a strategic advantage—and in the process, became one of the most respected and award-winning leaders in the industry.
For more than 25 years, González has challenged traditional thinking around taxes and financial planning. In 2001, he launched ETS with a bold and unconventional idea: combine engineers, CPAs, and tax specialists to uncover opportunities most firms overlook. That strategy helped ETS grow into one of the nation’s leading tax consulting firms, now serving more than 1,000 clients across 26 offices while generating over $2 billion in tax savings.
An Award-Winning Leader
His innovative leadership and influence have earned him major recognition throughout the business world. González has been named one of the “10 Most Inspiring CEOs” and has received honors from the Florida RED Awards, the National Minority Business Council, and the Florida State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. These awards recognize not only his business success, but also his commitment to helping companies, entrepreneurs, and underserved communities gain access to opportunities hidden within complex financial systems.
“Taxes aren’t just compliance,” González says. “They’re infrastructure. The way you structure them can determine whether your business thrives or barely survives.”
The Author Behind the Strategy
Beyond building ETS, González has also become a recognized author and thought leader. His bestselling book Why Billionaires Love the Tax Code breaks down how wealthy individuals and major corporations legally use tax strategies to preserve and grow wealth—while showing everyday business owners how they can apply many of the same principles themselves. The book gained attention for simplifying complex tax concepts and exposing how strategic planning can completely change a company’s financial future.
He followed that success with The Grant Equality Blueprint, a book focused on helping organizations and businesses access billions of dollars in overlooked federal and state grant funding. In the book, González explains how many businesses miss out on life-changing capital simply because they lack the right structure, documentation, or strategy to qualify. Rather than focusing on theory, the book offers practical systems businesses can use to position themselves for funding opportunities.
“The capital is already allocated,” González explains. “What’s missing is the structure to access it.”
More Than a CEO
What separates González from many executives is the mission behind the success. While his awards, books, and growing influence continue to elevate his profile, his focus has remained consistent: creating access. He believes financial knowledge should not be limited to elite corporations or insiders, and he has dedicated much of his career to making those strategies understandable and actionable for others.
Today, Julio González is recognized as more than a CEO. He’s a disruptor, an author, and a strategist whose ideas are reshaping how businesses think about taxes, wealth, and opportunity. His impact goes far beyond balance sheets—it’s about building systems that help more people compete, grow, and win.
