In a career spanning more than 30 years, Mr. Walden has held leadership positions in several Central Florida businesses. As a chief financial officer, chief operations Officer, and controller of various companies, he has had the opportunity to put the theories learned in classrooms to the real-life tests of the business world. As owner of Byron Walden & Associates, he provided accounting, income tax, and consulting services to individuals and small business owners. He sold his practice in 2001 when he co-founded Inductive Logic Systems, Inc., a building automation and management systems business dedicated to the commercial construction market. In 2005, Mr. Walden joined Fishkind & Associates, Inc., and in 2007 was appointed chief financial officer. In 2010, he was named a senior associate leading the litigation support team and serves as an expert witness.

Since joining Fishkind Litigation Services, (formerly Fishkind & Associates), Mr. Walden has focused primarily on the practice areas of business litigation, wrongful injury, wrongful death, divorce, and business valuation. He is a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in the state of Florida and is adept in preparing Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDRO).
