Big Four Experience. Practical Financial Leadership.
Credentials & Background
- Certified Public Accountant (CPA)
- 30+ years of accounting experience
- Big Four public accounting experience
- Corporate Controller experience
- CFO-level financial leadership
- Multi-industry expertise
Erica J. Harrod is a Certified Public Accountant with more than 30 years of experience spanning Big Four public accounting, corporate accounting, and executive financial leadership. She has served as Controller and CFO for privately held companies across a range of industries — giving her a perspective that goes well beyond the general ledger.
That Big Four foundation and breadth of experience are what set Harrod Consulting apart. Erica doesn't just understand bookkeeping — she understands how the books connect to the business. How the chart of accounts affects the financial statements. How internal controls protect a company. How cash flow affects operations. What owners, lenders, investors, and tax professionals actually need from your accounting.
She founded Harrod Consulting to bring that level of expertise to growing businesses that need it but can't justify a full-time hire.
Our Philosophy
Good Accounting Is the Foundation of Every Good Business Decision.
Accuracy First
Everything starts with books you can trust. If the underlying accounting isn't right, nothing built on top of it will be either — not the financial statements, not the cash flow projections, not the strategic decisions.
CPA-Level Judgment
There's a meaningful difference between someone who enters transactions and someone who understands accounting. We bring CPA-level judgment to every engagement — not just data entry.
Right-Sized Support
Not every business needs a full-time CFO. We build the level of support around what your business actually needs — whether that's reliable bookkeeping, Controller oversight, or strategic CFO guidance.
Clarity Over Complexity
Financial information should help you make decisions — not confuse you. We focus on giving you the information you need, in a format you can use, when you need it.
