About Us
Presser, Lahnen & Edelman was formed in 1986 and is an outgrowth of a firm co-founded by our chairman in 1966. Our offices are located in Jacksonville's Southpoint area, one of the region's fastest growing business developments. Driven by the desire to exceed our clients' expectations, our shareholders and staff are dedicated to helping our clients foster profitability and growth.
We provide sound and strategic accounting, auditing and tax services to a multitude of clients in a wide variety of professions and industries. In addition to these traditional services, we provide estate and lifetime tax planning, financial planning, investment planning, retirement plan consulting and administration, and management advisory services including business valuation and litigation support. Our primary goal is finding creative ways to meet each of our client's individual needs.
PL&E has a proud 20-year history of adhering to the highest professional standards and principals of integrity, with fair and ethical dealings in our client interactions. As a trusted advisor to business owners, we are in a unique position to assist them in all aspects of their financial lives. We are committed to building and sustaining long-term, value-added relationships with our clients. In fact, many of our clients have been with us since our earliest days, some even spanning into multiple generations of ownership.
