Eric Scott, MBA
Founder & Principal
17 Years Experience

Built on Relationships. Driven by Results.

Eric founded Onward Financial Services with a simple belief: small businesses deserve financial management that feels like a true partnership. With 17 years of experience in accounting and financial operations, he built Onward around relationships first — taking on fewer clients intentionally so each one gets the attention they deserve. Based in Flagstaff, Eric works closely with medical practices and nonprofits, helping them move from financial uncertainty to confident, strategic growth.
