When Eric founded Harvest Tax & Accounting; Accounting Services in September 2020, he had spent 25+ years working in Public accounting in regional firms in the Greater Cincinnati area. His goal was to create a practice that could focus on making small- to mid-sized family-owned businesses successful. In an industry that is very transactional, Eric wanted a firm that focused more on client relationships and less on the financial transactions.

To that end, Eric loves acting as an advisor and teacher for his clients. That’s why he spends significant time with his clients to discover how he can streamline their tax and accounting. The goal is to have his clients spend less time stressing about tax compliance and more time enjoying their families.

A resident of Liberty Township, Eric has a BA in Accounting and an Associates Degree in Computer Information Systems from Thomas More College. He has two adult sons and two grandsons. His hobbies include golfing, biking, brewing mead, and home coffee roasting.
