A background rooted in finance

Not just accounting
Chris is currently building a software company that was born out of the automation he built within the accounting firm. Herv.ai is a bookkeeping quality control platform that searches for errors within QuickBooks Online files and proactively alerts the bookkeeper to any problems. All of our customers are currently connected to the platform as accurate accounting is the backbone of everything we do within the firm.
Life outside the office
When he’s not crunching numbers, Chris likes to spend time with his wife and three young kids, play golf, obsess over efficient workflows, listen to Metallica, and watch the Philadelphia Eagles. In that order. Seriously. Every April, you can find Chris on the 18th hole of Harbour Town Golf Links volunteering as a Marshall at the PGA Tour’s RBC Heritage presented by Boeing.
