Forsyth Advisors Introduces Tariff Center of Excellence

Delivering Six-Figure Savings Through Reduced Tariff Exposure

ST. LOUIS, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Forsyth Advisors today announced the formal launch of its Tariff Center of Excellence (COE), consolidating the firm's expertise, tools, and operational resources to help companies navigate an increasingly complex tariff landscape and reduce unnecessary cost exposure.

Tariffs have become a significant and evolving challenge for companies since their expansion in recent years, with frequent regulatory changes, inconsistent implementation, and widespread confusion around classification and compliance. Through its work with clients, Forsyth Advisors has identified substantial opportunities including six-figure savings across multiple engagements through operational restructuring, classification optimization, and identification of missed exemptions. "Tariffs have been a growing hurdle for companies over the past several years, but they also present a meaningful opportunity," said Jim Pratt (Founder and Managing Partner of Forsyth Advisors). "We've consistently helped clients reduce their tariff exposure and believe formalizing this capability will allow us to deliver even greater impact."

The Tariff COE will be led by Oscar Owens (Principal), who has been instrumental in developing Forsyth's tariff mitigation strategies across a broad range of client engagements. Unlike traditional compliance-focused approaches, Owens applies an operator mindset to tariff strategy with deep experience in navigating the intersection of regulatory compliance and operational execution. "Tariffs are not just a compliance exercise but an operational challenge," said Owens. "By understanding how products are made, how supply chains are structured, and how regulations are applied in practice, we're able to uncover savings opportunities that most organizations miss."
