Ask Eric…

Why did you decide to join Stern Cohen?

My beliefs on how to best serve clients in the private/owner-managed business market are completely aligned with the core values of Stern Cohen and how the firm operates. It’s a great fit!

What is the most rewarding thing about being an accountant?

For me, it’s being able to answer questions for my clients. From a big question that involves significant tax planning and savings to a simple accounting question about how to record something correctly in their books, it feels really good to make a difference. Hearing the relief in a client’s voice or seeing the stress leave their face once they understand the issue is truly satisfying!
