What Clients Are Saying About Lee Merendino

“Lee Merendino was the Business Manager for Lehigh Valley Academy Regional Charter School (LVA) for almost nine years. During that time he worked closely with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Board of Trustees (BOT), providing monthly financials, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, school district billing and annual budgets for the school.

Lee is an excellent communicator and was always willing to explain financial information in layman’s terms when communicating with the community. He is knowledgeable, detail oriented and thorough, ensuring that LVA had clean independent audits each year. Lee is very friendly and worked well with the BOT, administration, faculty and staff at the school. He was flexible with his schedule, allowing LVA to increase his hours during busy times of the year, but also limiting his hours when appropriate, thus keeping the budgetary impact of his services to a minimum.

As the school’s CEO, I thoroughly enjoyed working with Lee Merendino during that time and would strongly recommend him to other organizations or businesses.”

He was instrumental in assisting me with selling one of my companies and has always been a sound financial advisor for me and my family. Lee has also provided invaluable advice on the structure and the operations of my businesses.

Throughout my association with Lee, he has demonstrated consistently his knowledge of tax law and always continues to be at the forefront of his profession with up-to-date knowledge of changes within the tax environment. The efficient, consistent and reliable service he provides, allows me to concentrate on the needs of my growing businesses.”
