Ed Lorenz - CEO, President

Job Titles:
  • CEO
  • President
As a proven expert in Cost segregation and Federal Research and Development credits, Ed formed The Concorde Group in May 2009. He brings over 7 years of experience to provide his clients with exceptional service and the attention to detail required by these tax strategies. Throughout his career, Ed has performed over 400 cost segregation studies and approximately 75 R&D studies. Although many of these studies have been reviewed by the IRS, none have been challenged. Prior to starting The Concorde Group, Ed served four years as the engineering expert at one of the nation's largest professional CPA firms located in the mid-west. As a staff member and then Associate, his time was divided equally among conducting cost segregation and Research and Development credit studies. With the knowledge base of his fellow staff members clearly focused on the accounting aspect, it was critical that Ed was relied upon for his engineering expertise required to complete these studies. In advance of his accounting and tax career, Ed spent approximately 15 years in the Construction and Demolition industry. His extreme attention to detail allowed him to focus primarily on large scale manufacturing projects for the auto industry, and municipal waste water and sewage treatment facilities where he served as Estimator and Project Manager.
