About Our Firm

Erickson, Sato & Wild, LLC was formed in 2016 when three former Dayton, Piercey & Knapp, P.C. employees joined forces to continue the accounting work that they have come to love.  Harolyn, Ann, and Katie have worked together in various capacities over the last ten years and developed a great working relationship and rapport. We look forward to bringing our knowledge and expertise to you and your business. As of December 31, 2018 Harolyn retired.

 

Our Mission

Who says accountants don’t have any fun!

Our mission at Erickson, Sato & Wild is to educate our clients so they can make informed decisions about their income tax situations.  We prefer to take a proactive, versus reactive, approach to client's tax matters by encouraging our clients to reach out to us at anytime throughout the year, when tax planning situations arise. Though our clients may have a primary contact at our firm we want them to feel comfortable asking their questions to either partner if their primary contact is not available.  Our goal is to assist clients in preparing for, or preventing, unpleasant surprises at tax time by providing answers as quickly as possible.
