1986 was also the year Edward Fulbright, CPA, PFS launched a part-time home-based CPA practice with one IBM Compaq computer, one client and a business plan.
As Fulbright's firm continued to grow, Genevia Gee Fulbright, CPA relocated to serve as Accounting & Tax Manager having left roles as an Internal Sales Auditor for a Dayton Hudson Subsidiary and Audit & Tax Senior of a Bay Area CPA firm. For a few years Edward served dual roles - weekdays as a corporate Financial Analyst at a multinational technology company that designed, developed and sold computer software and hardware and nights and weekends as a CPA Practitioner.
During 1992 Genevia was elected an officer and the firm name was changed to Fulbright & Fulbright, CPA, PA.
In the early evolution of the firm service offerings centered around individual and small business taxes and accounting services. The focus then and continues to be on how to help clients KEEP MORE OF WHAT THEY MAKE.
After a few years clients requested additional services including business strategy sessions, investment advice and coaching services so in addition to increasing offerings in 1995 Edward founded fee-only NC registered investment advisory firm Fulbright Financial Consulting, PA. By offering objective Fiduciary Fee-Only services, the firm better represents the best interests of clients.
