Gregory S. Noe
e – Managing Director & CEO, Edgar Allen Group, Inc. – Cincinnati, Ohio.
The Edgar Allen Group, named after his father and grandfather, is an assemblage of companies each providing a different area of business service. The flagship and oldest of the group is Professional Business Services which provides accounting, payroll, tax preparation, business consulting and related services. It began as a typing service while in college and has grown into a firm servicing hundreds of business and individual clients. In the early years, PBS ‘ services were predominately related to tax preparation which is seasonal and so he created Allied Building Contractors to work in the construction industry during the “opposite” season. Today ABC connects property owners with construction workers by providing marketing and administrative services.
In 1996, Greg created a computer company called E-tech Express which provides a wide array of computer and network consulting services for small businesses including design, build and repair systems, web design and hosting, data recovery and software evaluation and training. Owning both an accounting firm and a computer business allows Greg a unique advantage in providing services which neither one alone might offer.
In 2003, Greg re-entered the insurance and investment industry when he started Benchmark Financial Services. Wealth creation and preservation are the hallmarks of this enterprise. As an independent agent and representative, Greg helps clients protect their assets and achieve their long term dreams.
Greg has always had the dream of combining work with pleasure so he created Blue Planet Adventure Travel through which he organizes SCUBA, white water rafting, zip-line, skiing and other adventure travel trips. Business workshops conducted while away from the day-to-day stresses helps business owners plan longer term strategies including retirement and succession.
In 2008, Greg re-kindled his passion for entrepreneurial ventures by offering assistance with feasibility studies, start-ups, venture capital packaging, franchise consulting, business continuity and succession planning and financial management. As a result, Greg is involved in several projects where he provides strategy, financial and contact services.
