Pearce and Gilliam Bell Moser go way back. In fact, Pearce was introduced to the firm almost 35 years ago, when he was just starting out in his career. At that point, he was newly employed at a packaging company, and Gilliam Bell Moser was the company’s accounting firm.

As Pearce grew in his career, he watched Gilliam Bell Moser grow as well. And as Pearce sold one company and then another, the Gilliam Bell Moser team supported him as trusted advisors.

“I have always found them to be extremely approachable and responsive,” Pearce said about the Gilliam Bell Moser team. “I can ask them small questions and big questions — all are important to us — and they make us feel like they’re important to them, too.”

Pearce also appreciates the firm’s “big picture” approach. “Gilliam Bell Moser hires bright people who take a holistic view of their clients’ business and personal situations,” he said. “They have the high service levels of a small firm, but the horsepower of a large firm.”

Now retired, Pearce is working with Gilliam Bell Moser on his personal tax and estate planning. “I’ve continued to enjoy my relationship with them over all these years,” Pearce said. “I know I have the best team working with me.”
