BREAKWATER ACCOUNTING + ADVISORY came to fruition after CEO and Founder Lee Podolsky recognized a gap in the accounting and financial industry.

Drawing from her experience as a freelance accountant during her daughters’ early years, Podolsky launched Breakwater in 2014. Offering flexible work opportunities, utilizing technological advancements, and having a unified passion for helping others are all qualities that solidified Breakwater’s position as a 2023 Superstar in Business.
