Steve Ellard founded Steven M. Ellard, CPA in 1990. Steve is responsible for overall practice management, concentrating on client relations, business development, and staff development.

Connelly, CPA, where he focused on auditing and tax preparation for large construction firms in the metro Boston area. Steve has earned a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Rhode Island College and is a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor.
