Tax, assurance, and advisory for middle-market companies

Chris is a Partner at Anderson Edwards PLLC with just over eleven years of tax compliance, advisory, and transaction experience serving middle-market companies and the owners behind them. Most of that work has been with operating businesses - companies with employees, customers, and working capital to manage - with a meaningful concentration in real estate. He advises the entity and its owners together, because in a closely held business those are rarely separate decisions.

His first four years in assurance mean he reads a business the way its lenders and sureties do before planning the tax position on top of it. Chris stays engaged year-round rather than surfacing at filing deadlines, which is how he learns where an owner is headed early enough to help.
