FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Oct. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Jettax Holdings, LLC, a company co-founded by Stewart H. Lapayowker, Esq., founder of Lapayowker Jet Counsel, P.A., today announced the planned acquisition of Aviation Financial Consulting, LLC ("AFC"), a nationally recognized aviation tax and consulting firm. The transaction will result in added capacity to increase AFC's ability to serve a growing private aviation industry and other tax and accounting professionals in need of aviation-related support. The transaction is expected to close in early 2026.
"I have enormous respect for Stewart and believe he is absolutely the perfect strategic partner to expand AFC's work," said Glenn Hediger founder and current owner of AFC.
Lapayowker added, "I welcome the opportunity to invest in Glenn's thirty-five plus years of experience in this industry. I am confident that our shared vision and natural rapport will grow AFC many times over."
Lapayowker and Hediger have worked alongside for nearly three decades, providing aviation legal, accounting, and tax expertise to shared clients. The acquisition brings together seasoned professionals in a niche market that relies heavily on trusted relationships.
The two remarked, "We have worked together so well and so often that this just made good sense. We consistently challenge each other's thinking in ways that benefit our clients. There's no doubt this will be a rewarding and enjoyable collaboration."
Post-acquisition, AFC will continue to operate as an independent business unit with no significant changes to its day-to-day operations. "It will be business as usual," noted Hediger. "What will change is AFC's ability to expand capacity, attract top talent, and further enhance the high level of service our clients have come to expect."
