About Preston

Preston Parker is a graduate of the University of Utah. He was associated with the Los Angeles office of Price Waterhouse & Co., one of the largest, international accounting firms.

Preston later became Controller and Chief Financial Officer of Snarr Advertising Inc. a regional outdoor advertising company with billboards in 13 western states. He was instrumental in developing methodology for compensating sign owners for billboards removed under the 1965 Highway Beautification Act. He also participated in a successful effort to give tax relief to sign companies whose assets were taken under the Beautification Act by the federal government.

In 1994 Preston moved to Arizona and established a CPA practice in the Scottsdale, Phoenix area as Preston Parker CPA PC, Parker and Rozdolski CPA’s and eventually Parker Egan CPAs PLLC.
