Origins
Leading H.J. Edwards & Associates is a strong, vibrant CEO. Mr. Edwards, founder and accountant, opened his own office with the realization that his skill, leadership ability, and business acumen would unconditionally guarantee his success. Thus far, his calculations were accurate. He has nurtured the growth of this organization by incorporating high-morale principles, good business values, and 21st century leadership attributes.
Prior to opening his own office, Mr. Edwards served in numerous capacities at major financial houses in New York City, including Hertz Rent-A-Car and Prudential Insurance Company of America. His strengths were highlighted while serving as Budget Accountant and Special Agent. It was during such tenure that Mr. Edwards perfected his craft and honed his leadership abilities. Rather than leave those offices as a retiree, Mr. Edwards left as an ambitious young man with a vision of present and future grandeur.
