Edward Salinas

Staff Accountant

Meet Edward Salinas, one of our newest team members! 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Edward. On top of beginning his career at Edwards & Associates, he also graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Dallas in May.

As a Staff Accountant, Edward’s responsibilities include tax preparation for individuals and small businesses, managing bookkeeping and payroll, and supporting the team with tax planning strategies. His detail-oriented mindset, commitment to learning, and problem-solving skills are a great asset to our team.

Edward is proud to call Mesquite home, where he enjoys spending time with his tight-knit family. Outside work, he’s active in his church and ALPFA (Association of Latino Professionals for America) and loves watching movies and collecting Yu-Gi-Oh and PokĂ©mon cards.

  • If life were a movie, he’d be honored to have Ryan Gosling play him — though Gosling might need to brush up on his accounting and card-collecting skills!
  • Edward’s favorite book is The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. Did you know the only character who appears in each of the seven books is Aslan?
  • Edward enjoys potatoes so much that if given a ticket to go anywhere on planet Earth, he would go straight to Idaho. He sure loves his spuds!
