Founder

Edmonds & Edmonds LLP

Partner

Dreyer, Edmonds & Robbins

I'm a CPA with over 18 years of experience in tax preparation and accounting for corporations, partnerships, estates, trusts, and high net worth individuals.

I realized that CPAs and tax professionals did not have a trusted resource for their job search needs.  That’s why I founded COPE Staffing – to help CPAs and tax professionals find the right position at the right company. 

We at COPE Staffing can "speak your language".  We are the only staffing and recruiting company whose sole focus is CPAs and Tax Professionals.
