Erik Schneider

Armed with a master's degree in taxation, I have been practicing in Atlanta for nearly two decades. After gaining valuable knowledge working at an international firm and then a large local firm, I started my own practice in 1995 committing myself to proving clients with a different and more rewarding experience. I have recently specialized my practice and now focus primarily on medical practices, real estate and individual tax planning and preparation. See Specialties for more information.

What makes me different
While working at a local firm, I observed that the people with the most expertise were not the ones doing the work. I found that this made it difficult for the senior employees to give the best advice to the client because they were not sufficiently knowledgeable with the specific nuances of the client and their business. I purposely decided to keep my practice smaller so that I could do what I truly enjoy: getting to intimately know a client's situation and the issues specific to their business so that I could apply my extensive expertise and experience most effectively. To this day, I've kept that commitment. My clients appreciate the tight relationship which allows them to feel like I'm truly a member of the team and not just an outside advisor. I've also kept my rates reasonable given my level of experience so that clients can use me frequently and fully and not have to worry about getting hit with the dreaded "mega-bill".

Further, I committed myself to proving my clients with the information they want in a format that they can understand. To that end, I have developed highly graphic financial reports that allow a reader to understand his or her business more fully than through standard financial reports. See sample reports for an example.
