Joanne L Edgar, Cpa Cfo Email and Phone Number

Joanne founded J. Edgar Group, PLLC in 2001. Inspired by her observation that traditional CPA firms excel at compliance but not at ensuring business success, she shaped the J. Edgar Group into a provider of CFO services on demand. Joanne is Acting CFO for half a dozen companies across northern New England, supporting mergers and acquisitions worth more than $20 million, and negotiating corporate financing for property and operations totaling over $23 million. Her pioneering work in financing commercial solar projects enabled a major installation in Manchester’s historic Mill District, and more cutting-edge solar projects are breaking ground soon. She leads the J. Edgar Group’s tax practice, and serves as special adviser for self-directed IRA accounts. Prior to founding the J. Edgar Group, Joanne served as a senior accountant in KPMG’s audit department, specializing in construction, service, and manufacturing. She also managed audits for Connor & Associates, P.C., and served as corporate controller of Kinderworks Corporation. Active in her local community, Joanne serves as Trustee of Trust Funds for the Town of Andover, New Hampshire. Past board appointments include the Financial Management Association of New Hampshire; Treasurer and Board President for AIDS Response Seacoast; Treasurer and Board President for Business Network International; and Treasurer for the New Hampshire Women’s Lobby.

As the founder and managing partner of J. Edgar Group, I provide customized, high-level CFO services and hands-on financial consulting on a part-time or interim basis. J. Edgar Group consultants work with small to mid-sized companies to identify financial constraints, opportunities and operational improvements. With over 20 years of experience working as a CFO and a CPA, I take a strategic approach to achieving financial goals while maintaining best practices for daily financial operations. Our clients span a range of industries, including manufacturing, professional services, high tech, healthcare and nonprofit organizations.
