Eric Holzman

Manager
Veris Consulting
Reston, VA

 

When companies are involved in an accounting dispute, they look to Eric Holzman to get to the bottom of things.

And when beer-lovers are investigating new beers, they visit Eric’s blog.

By day, Eric is a senior manager for Veris Consulting, an accounting firm that specializes in uncovering fraud and settling corporate disputes. By night, he’s a home brewer and writes a blog about all things beer.

For Eric, it’s all about the people he meets along the way. “Forensic accounting allows you to work with professionals from all types of industries like engineering, economics and law” he says. “And with my interest in brewing, I get to meet people from all over the brewing industry. My wife and I travel all over the US to research new beers and meet the people who make them.”

Eric advises anyone who is self-motivated and enjoys solving complex problems to consider becoming a CPA. “You’re constantly faced with new challenges in this career,” he says. “And people who can think creatively will be rewarded.” Take it from a guy who knows how to fill his spare time. He must be doing something right.
