Eric Neas, CPA
Partner, Assurance Services | Audit
Aprio, LLP
Aprio Advisory Group, LLC
Who I work with
I work with privately held manufacturing and distribution companies. I have more than ten years of experience working with ventures ranging in size from small startups to businesses with more than $500 million in revenue.
My specialty
I am well-versed in the technical areas that commonly affect manufacturing, distribution, e-commerce, and professional services companies, including business combinations, revenue recognition, lease accounting, debt, and equity. Going against the grain of the ‘typical’ CPA, I aim to provide a fresh perspective on auditing and always strive to make the process less burdensome. While I offer top-tier compliance services, including audits, reviews, & compilations, I go beyond the compliance to provide expert advisory services. My passion is ensuring my clients & the owners achieve their full potential.
Results I have delivered
My work has directly contributed to significant client achievements, including:
- Helping companies save money and build their business.
- Creating transactions that yield direct returns on investment.
- Providing peace of mind with comprehensive knowledge of accounting and advisory matters.
- Acting as a trusted advisor, always focused on What’s Next.
Unique things about me
I’m passionate about driving success for my colleagues and my clients, striving for excellence in every engagement internally and externally. My role allows me to truly advise companies and their owners. While I offer a fresh perspective on auditing and make the process less burdensome, I also provide insights and solutions.
When I am not at work
Outside of Aprio, I enjoy the Atlanta Braves, home projects, and spending time with my wife & two young boys. I also serve on the Finance Committee to the Board of a non-profit, Second Helpings Atlanta – we rescue food waste throughout Atlanta!
People say I am
Detail-oriented; approachable; passionate to help others succeed; very involved in the community.
Affiliations

I’m involved in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and Georgia Society of Certified Public Accountants. I serve on multiple advisory boards, including The Rainmaker Companies, Second Helpings Atlanta, and Next Generation Manufacturing. I am the president of the Whitfield Parc Homeowners’ Association.
