Eric and the rest of the team at Harvest are awesome! I am so pleased with the work that they do. They are thorough in their work but also conscious of exactly what I need and don't need as a small business owner. They answer all of my questions promptly and ensure I have a good understanding of my financial and tax picture. Highly recommend their services to others!
I?m so glad I connected with Eric Bonney as my real estate business was growing. Thanks to Eric?s advice to switch to an S-Corporation I was able to save tens of thousands in taxes.
Absolutely love working with Eric & his team! Wish I would?ve done this years ago. Best investment for my business.
From the moment we began working with Harvest Tax & Accounting Services, the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Their team is incredibly quick and responsive, addressing our queries and concerns with remarkable efficiency and I love the additional help from the Quickbooks experts on their team. Their proactive approach to planning and consulting has been a game-changer for our business. They don?t just wait for us to reach out with issues; instead, they anticipate our needs and offer solutio
The Team at Harvest Tax and Accounting have been an amazing resource for my "New" small business. They are dedicated and responsive!
Eric and his team are incredibly patient and helpful when it comes to optimizing tax and accounting and keeping you informed throughout the entire process. After a few short months of being their partner, I feel like I have a whole new outlook on "tax time" and feel excited about feeling so on top of things with their guidance!
Eric and his team are consummate professionals. They respond to my questions quickly and are extremely knowledgeable about their fields of expertise.
Eric and his team at Harvest have had a big impact on how I approach running my business. They have helped me to understand the complexity and depth of how you can structure your business from a tax perspective. They are helpful, insightful and enjoyable to work with. I also really appreciate the 1 on 1 feel of service and support that they provide. I would recommend them to anyone!
When we were looking for a new accounting firm for our small business, I interviewed several knowledgeable, accomplished accountants. But I knew 15 minutes into the conversation with Eric that Harvest was the firm for us. The tone and direction of a business are established top down, and Harvest is a rare find. Eric and his staff provide a variety of services with a focus on small businesses. He took the time during our initial call to brainstorm tax options specific to us and has remained equally engag
Eric Bonney and the Harvest Team have been very easy to work with. They provide excellent communication, quality work and customer service. Highly recommend!
Our family business has experienced a lot of unexpected changes in the last few years especially on the administrative end. While trying to keep my head above water during tax season, we worked with an accountant that completely disappointed our expectations and abandoned us. No communication, no follow up, no interest in our company. I felt alone and so defeated. I was desperate to connect with someone that we could count on, someone that would communicate every step of the way, and that would be a vital
Eric and his team are fantastic to work with and I am so appreciative of their constant support for my private practice. They answer all my questions in a timely manner and are on top of all my tax and accounting needs. It's an area of my business that previously caused me stress and anxiety and now I confidently know it's in safe and trusted hands. I recommend them to ALL my friends and colleagues.
I highly recommend Harvest for your CPA needs. Eric Bonney and Brian Chestnut are wonderful to work with. They respond to questions timely and professionally. The took a huge burden off our shoulders by handling our taxes for us. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would.
Many businesses say they are partners and advisors. Eric Bonney truly is those things. I have worked with Eric Bonney for years and will follow where he leads. Harvest Tax & Accounting use technology to make things convenient for their clients, and their communications are clear and timely. I recommend without reservation.
Eric and the team at Harvest are breaking the mold and creating a one-of-a-kind company. The team prioritizes the relationships with their clients above all else, and this is evident in every interaction, big and small. Their approach to working with their clients/partners to provide accounting, bookkeeping, and tax consulting services year-round and to be fully available and engaged whenever the clients need them - not just during tax season - is a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend this team/compa
Eric with Harvest Tax and Accounting was referred to me by a colleague. I'm a contractor, and my spouse runs their own business, so our taxes were becoming too difficult for me to continue to navigate on our own. We had used a different local accounting service the year prior with dire results; we ended up owing the IRS over $20,000! We went to Eric to help us get things straightened out. Not only did he work hard to help us understand our situation (I needed a lot of education that my former accountant was
Eric and his team are very attentive and do business the "right way" - personable, ethical, experts. I've been trusting them with my company's taxes for several years and have been nothing but happy with their service!
Harvest Tax & Accounting is the best when it comes to tax services. I have personally used their services myself and experienced great results. 10/10 would recommend.
Eric, Nicole, and the entire Harvest team are great to work with. Proactive, responsive, and always looking for opportunities to help support your business. Thank you!
Overwhelmed by the intricacies of our accounting, we realized we needed help...and fast...the days of each of us wearing multiple hats had taken it's toll...our books were a mess...we called Eric at Harvest, they sat down with us, reassured us that everything was going to be ok...and took over the heavy lifting...freeing us up to do what we know how to do. A huge weight has been lifted off my chest...and we can finally exhale. I use both the Tax service and the Bookkeeping service and couldn't be happier wi
Chris Lee and his team have taken the "necessary evil" of bookkeeping off my plate so I can focus on growing my business. They're efficient, helpful, and I always feel at ease knowing that they're working for my best interests. I would highly recommend their services to any small business who wants to spend more time making sales rather than on bookkeeping.
Skilled team with years of experience in preparing and filing Federal, States and Local Tax returns. Additionally, their knowledge in handling Federal K-1 forms involving multiple States adds to their expertise. The principals have been preparing my taxes for many years. Nice people to do business with.
Eric and his team are forward thinking and very positive. They can take complex situations and make it easy for their customers like me. I highly recommend Harvest as a top notch firm.
Eric Bonney with Harvest Book Keeping (formerly Chris Lee with Book Keeping Express) is the best! Not only are his book keeping services top notch, Eric continues to go above and beyond, by providing 'extras' you usually would not receive from other services. He has handled the book keeping for my insurance agency for a couple of years now, I don't know what we would do without him!
I would highly recommend their services! I worked with Eric and he was great, efficient, and so helpful during the process! Their online portal made it easier and confidential. Great customer service and such an easy way to have my taxes done!
We used this bookkeeping service for over a year and a half. The company was unable to provide an accurate statement in the entirety we were working together, unwilling to pull together numbers themselves if CRM systems won't provide financial reports for them, unwilling to refund for services not provided (totaling over $5,000!) only having their attorney offer a settlement of around $600, and lagged response time sometimes taking a month to get an answer to an email. I wouldn't recommend this company to a
Eric and the staff at Harvest go above and beyond! As a newer business owner, the help decrease my anxieties about things I didn't know and educate me on my options. Incredible team to work with!
If you want to work with an accountant and his team who are passionate about numbers--you need to talk to Chris Lee! Chris explained to me that he came from a big family, so his passion is helping others make more time to spend with their families--not doing bookkeeping all weekend or late nights. It makes sense. By letting Bookkeeping Express do the books, us small business owners have more time to spend with the special people in our lives--our families! Highly recommend his services!
Eric and the team are very knowledgeable. They helped us maximize our tax refund and have proven to add a tremendous amount of value to their clients.
Harvest Bookkeeping formerly Bookkeeping express, has relieve be so much stress of keeping my books straight and saves me a lot of time. They ask me about any charges they are not sure about which keeps me accountable and makes sure everything is charted appropriately. Reports are given to me monthly within the first 7 days and it is a fantastic way to keep track of my income and expenses!
Harvest Tax & Accounting is the best business tax provider and bookkeeping service in Cincinnati! The team has been an immense help!
I hired Chris 2 years ago for bookkeeping services, BEST decision I ever made! Prices are very affordable. I honestly don't know why I tried to do it myself for so many years, Chris and his staff go above and beyond for me and my business to make sure all the numbers add up, which allows me to concentrate on running my business. Thanks Chris and the staff!
As a start up company I seemed to never have time to catch up on the administrative side. Hiring Chris and his team for my books provided a much needed relief for the day to day, keeping owning my business, fun and profitable. Can?t say enough about the stress relief they brought to me.
I have worked with many accounting and bookkeeping companies and we struck Gold when we started working with Eric Bonney as our CPA and his Harvest bookkeeping team! They are organized, prompt in responding to questions, and always have their clients best interest at heart.
Since using bookkeeping express the last 5 months, a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I don't have to worry about bookkeeping and can focus on my work and bringing in new business. It frees up a lot of time and I get a report by the 3rd for the previous month. They are quick, accurate, and responsive to questions.
The Harvest Tax team provides exceptional service to customers, they take the time to seek to understand first and take a consultative approach to conversations.
I've known Chris for quite a while and he's good people. Integrity and professionalism are his hallmarks. Do not hesitate to call Chris and his team at Harvest!
Eric and his team are a great combination of one-on-one consulting and high-level expertise, but with reasonable rates. I can't recommend them enough.
Chris and his team are great! They are very informative and will address your needs and give guidance to where you maybe deficient in terms of your numbers. Very glad to be able to work with such excellent people!
They have been amazing helping us get our business in line and compliant! They are easy to work with, walk you through everything you need and are always available to help! Highly recommend!
Eric was excellent! Gave me great guidance with a complex situation.
Eric and his team have been top notch in helping me navigate my taxes as a small business. Highly recommend!
Harvest Bookeeping (Formerly Bookeeping Express) is the best in the business. They keep their promises. They allow a business to do what they do best, run the business and business grows as a result!
I've been using the folks at Harvest for several years now...I enjoy the incredible communication and the quick responses to my needs.
Harvest CPA and bookkeeping have been helping our business for a number of years, they are professional and attentive and always willing to listen.

Looking for an accountant called harvest no one answered the phone

Harvest Tax and Accounting make problems go away.
Look for a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license, which ensures they’ve passed rigorous exams and meet state requirements. Check for relevant experience in your industry, additional certifications like CFA or CMA, and membership in professional organizations like the AICPA. Verify their credentials through state licensing boards.
Use online directories like the AICPA, CPAverify, or state CPA societies. Search platforms like Yelp or Google for local CPAs with reviews. Ask for referrals from business associates, friends, or financial advisors. Local chambers of commerce can also provide recommendations.
A CPA is a licensed professional who has passed the CPA exam and met state requirements for education and experience. An accountant may lack this certification and could have varying levels of expertise. For complex tasks like tax audits or financial reporting, a CPA is typically more qualified.
Ask about their experience with your specific financial needs, such as tax preparation, small business accounting, or estate planning. Review their website or LinkedIn for case studies or client testimonials. Inquire about their client base to ensure they handle similar financial situations.
Yes, reviews provide insight into a CPA’s reliability, communication, and performance. Check platforms like Google, Yelp, or the Better Business Bureau for client feedback. Look for patterns in reviews, but verify their authenticity, as some may be biased or outdated.
Visit your state’s Board of Accountancy website or use CPAverify.org to check a CPA’s license status. Confirm their license is active and check for any disciplinary actions or complaints. This ensures they’re in good standing and meet professional standards.
Ask about their experience with your financial needs, fee structure, availability, and communication style. Inquire how they handle tax filings, audits, or financial planning. Ask for references or examples of similar work to assess their expertise and fit.
Fees vary based on location, services, and complexity. Basic tax preparation may cost $150-$500, while business accounting or audits can range from $1,000 to $10,000+. Request a detailed fee structure upfront and compare quotes from multiple CPAs.
Yes, many CPAs offer remote services through secure online platforms for document sharing and virtual consultations. Ensure they use encrypted tools for data security. Remote CPAs can be effective if they understand your local tax laws or business regulations.
During consultations, evaluate their ability to explain complex financial concepts clearly. Ask sample questions about taxes or financial strategies and note their responsiveness and clarity. Good communication ensures you understand their advice and fosters a productive relationship.
Beware of CPAs who guarantee specific tax refunds, lack a valid license, or have disciplinary actions on record. Avoid those with poor communication, vague fee structures, or negative reviews highlighting unethical behavior. Always verify their credentials independently.
Large firms offer more resources and specialized teams but may charge higher fees. Solo practitioners often provide personalized service and lower costs but may have limited availability. Choose based on your needs, budget, and preference for personalized attention.
For individuals, annual meetings for tax preparation may suffice. Businesses may need quarterly or monthly check-ins for bookkeeping, tax planning, or financial reporting. Discuss your needs upfront to establish a meeting schedule that aligns with your financial goals.
Yes, many CPAs handle both, but confirm their expertise in both areas. Ask about their experience managing personal taxes and business accounting simultaneously. Ensure they can balance both without compromising attention to your specific financial needs.
Discuss concerns directly with your CPA to resolve issues. If unresolved, check your contract for termination terms. Seek a new CPA by researching reviews, credentials, and referrals. Request your financial records to ensure a smooth transition to a new professional.
