Company Profile

Leading Edge Professional Services is the result of the evolution of a traditional CPA firm into a quality oriented, multifaceted “single source” business service provider. Leading Edge, through it's divisions Kohl & Company and Netwise Computer Solutions addresses all aspects of business life today, from Finance and Technology to hands on Management Consultation. We are pleased to be able to provide such a broad range of services tailored to the needs of today's business entrepreneur, unparalleled in more traditional firms.

Leading Edge Professional Services has leveraged over 30 years of experience and, in response to our clients' needs and market demands, brought it together to offer services as Kohl & Company and Netwise Computer Solutions. The evolution has somewhat completed our quest to be able to provide our clients with true “One Stop” business services. Gone are the days of sending clients to three or four service providers. Leading Edge continues to seek services to add to enhance the "One Stop" solution and is currently working through a maze of regulations to offer additional services including brokerage and insurance services.

We invite you to experience the difference that professionals who not merely observers, but providing proactive, progressive and creative solutions to today’s problems and dilemmas can make in your business or situation.
