About Us
The Company
The Company began in 1945 in Pearl Linder's kitchen as Pearle Office Service. She outgrew her kitchen office and moved to the concrete block utility building behind her home. When she outgrew that location she converted a small house on the back of her property into her office. She added a small metal building behind that office for a copy room. She moved the office to Holly Hill Plaza suite F in 1993. She celebrated her 50th year of service in 1995. On July 1, 1995 Lewis K. (Kenny) Parrish purchased the company. Kevin W. Parrish joined the company full-time January 1, 1996. The company name was changed to Pearle Accounting Service from Pearle Office Service during 1996. After one year in suite F of Holly Hill Plaza, the office moved to suite G to accommodate the growing company. Suite G was twice the size of suite F. In November of 1998 the office moved to 2326 Wrightsboro Road. In May of 2003 the office moved next door to 2330 Wrightsboro Road. The ownership changed to Kevin W. Parrish on January 1, 2009 at which time he formed a CPA firm.
