The Practice

Your taxes handled. Your attention back on your life.

Elias Shamuel founded the firm in 1993, bringing together public accounting experience and years inside a corporate accounting department. That same discipline now goes into every individual return the firm prepares.

The practice stays small on purpose. You speak with the accountant who prepared your numbers, and you get answers in plain language.

Elias Shamuel at Edens Accounting & Tax Service

Founder

Elias Shamuel

Elias began his career as a bookkeeper, went on to public accounting at McGladrey & Pullen, and spent more than fifteen years as chief accountant of a growing title insurance company. In 1993 he founded Edens Accounting & Tax Service, building the practice while that corporate career continued.

The result is a rare combination: someone who has closed the books for a corporation and who also understands exactly what an individual taxpayer needs from their accountant.
