Q&A with Erik
What inspired you to pursue a career in accounting/tax advisory?
I was recruited by an accounting professor because I had a high GPA in college. I transferred from the management program to the accounting program based on her experiences at a regional accounting firm. Long term job security and a constant demand for accountants seemed like a promising profession.
What's one interesting fact people might not know about you?
I was an amateur boxer in my twenties.
What part of work do you find most rewarding?
I enjoy the technical aspect of taxation and providing clients with solutions.
What's your go-to way to relax after a busy workday?
Either listening to music or possibly going to the gym.
