Lekas, Edgar & Co.

Lekas, Edgar & Co. is an accounting firm in Londonderry, New Hampshire. The firm works with small to mid-sized companies, pairing traditional CPA services with on-demand CFO support. Its professionals bring more than fifty years of combined experience to engagements that include tax planning and preparation for corporate, individual, partnership, and estate and trust returns; cash flow management; raising capital; business forecasting; financial restructuring; 401(k) employee plans; mergers and acquisitions; financial systems; financial reporting; investment strategies; and IPO and exit preparation. The firm holds a 5.00 rating from the customers who have reviewed it.

The firm describes its work as a long-term partnership rather than a vendor relationship. Its stated approach is to get to know each client's business model, assess operational gaps, and map out growth opportunities, and it encourages clients to call or email with questions without being charged for each one. Tax work is handled proactively through the year, with bookkeeping and financial tracking put in place so that changes affecting a client's taxes can be identified and addressed before filing season. Complimentary strategy sessions are offered to businesses that are unsure which services they need.

The practice is led by two managing partners. Kerry Lekas, CPA/PFS, CFP, MST, RLP, works with small and medium-sized businesses on tax planning and preparation across the full business lifecycle, from founding equity and business structure planning through exit strategy. She holds a Masters in Taxation from Bentley College and a Bachelor of Science in accounting from the University of Massachusetts - Lowell. Joanne L. Edgar, CPA, founded J. Edgar Group twenty years ago and provides CFO services on demand, bridging the gap between compliance-focused CPA work and the financial guidance companies need. She has served as acting CFO for companies across northern New England, supporting mergers and acquisitions and negotiating corporate financing for property purchases and operations.

The office sits on Parmenter Road, close to Nesenkeag Brook and about a mile from Wiley Hill. Nashua Road is roughly seven-tenths of a mile away, Derry Road about a mile and a half.

For small and mid-sized businesses around Londonderry that want a CPA and CFO team invested in their growth, Lekas, Edgar & Co. pairs decades of tax and financial management experience with a hands-on, year-round partnership.
