Eric Bisignano, CPA
Founder + President π π π€
After spending about 9 years as a federal auditor, Eric began pursuing Charitax full-time in January 2014. The first 4 years of Charitax was just Eric at the kitchen table, but has since blossomed into the dream team you see below helping hundreds of people each year. Eric works with individuals, businesses, and nonprofits on tax and accounting. He specializes in working with creative business owners (designers, photographers, film makers, wedding coordinators, artists), service-based businesses, and clergy taxes. And for new solopreneurs, Eric has the heart of a teacher and will help you gain confidence in your new business.
Eric lives in Gahanna, Ohio with his wife, Jill, and 6 amazing kids. He enjoys listening to podcasts, playing euchre, sharing memes, talking about stock picks, and pickleball dink shots. He is also (too) obsessed with the Enneagram and making Neapolitan-style pizza in his home pizza oven. Eric earned a B.S. in Business Administration from Heidelberg University in Tiffin, Ohio, and a Masterβs Certificate in Project Management from The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. He is a licensed CPA in Ohio, but works with clients from coast to coast.
Jennifer McHugh, EA
Bookkeeping + Senior Tax Specialist π π¨βπ©βπ§βπ§ π€
Jen started at Charitax in 2016 after several years as a stay-at-home mom, which included a lot of time volunteering in her kidsβ schools (mostly in the library or with tasks involving spreadsheets). Prior to that, she worked for almost ten years in the insurance industry. Jen graduated from Ohio University with a B.S. in Mathematics and a minor in Business Administration. She's one of the most organized people you'll meet and she won't relax until a list is complete!

Jeremy Jackson, EA
Senior Tax Specialist π¨βπ©βπ§ ππΌββοΈ π«
Jeremy has had an entrepreneurial bent since he was young. He is a perpetual list-maker and has a drive toward perfection. After graduating from The Ohio State University with a B.S. in Business Administration and a specialization in Finance, he started and grew a photography business with his wife, Amanda, before being recruited by Charitax.
Jeremy lives in Powell with his wife and daughter. He enjoys playing golf and tennis, going on family walks, traveling (especially in Europe), and making espresso at home. While warm, sunny weather is his favorite, a warm fireplace and a game of cards in the winter isnβt so bad, either.
Jill Bisignano
Director of Operations π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ π· π
Jill coordinates and organizes behind the scenes to help keep Charitax running smoothly. And she believes there is no substitute for a good paper planner. She is a graduate of Heidelberg University in Tiffin, Ohio with a B.A. in Early Childhood Education and Special Education.
She and Eric live with their 6 kids and cat, Pippa, in Gahanna, Ohio. Outside work, Jill enjoys being involved in her kidsβ schools and a JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) mastermind cohort.
