Bill Chorba

Senior Consultant
Marsh, Berry & Company
Cleveland, OH

 

Bill Chorba’s clients can hear him coming a mile away. Of course, that could be because he rides his Harley to most meetings. “My hands may have some grease stains on them from working on my bike, but my clients really pay more attention to the fact that I’m a CPA who can help,” he says.

As a senior consultant for Marsh, Berry & Co., the world’s largest consulting firm focused on insurance, Bill commands his clients’ respect – Harley or not. “There aren’t many better feelings than the ones you get from helping clients work through their toughest challenges,” he says.

Bill chose to become an accountant to learn the language of business. “Being a CPA makes you more versatile, valuable and desirable across all industries than just about any other profession,” he says. “It gives you a foundation you can apply to any field.”

Of course, it doesn’t teach you how to stroke a V-twin engine. But that’s what the weekends are for.
