About Us

Teamwork, Reliability & Value

Small businesses today face many challenges: Finding new customers, hiring and managing the right people to do the work, making sure everyone is paid properly, and planning for the future while your business landscape changes daily. We invite you to learn more about our bookkeeping services team, and the unique blend of expertise, customer service and value we bring to every client relationship.

Our Team

Eric Johnisee

Eric Johnisee

Eric founded Drive Accounting in 2000, and today serves as a Partner/CEO, dedicating his time mainly to building relationships with Drive’s clients and trusted advisors. He also has a hand in process creation and accounting advisory, helping others streamline their own businesses, and is incredibly proud of the bookkeeping services team and culture he and his business partner have built at Drive. Eric is from Sherwood, Oregon, and when he’s not working, he enjoys cooking, woodworking, camping, and playing games with family and friends. He strives to be the type of father and husband that his two sons use as a model when they become husbands and fathers themselves.

Ted Hanna

Ted Hanna

Ted is a Partner/COO at Drive Accounting. A Southern California native, he moved to Oregon in 2002. Ted acts as a liaison between clients and the production team to make sure that everyone at Drive can move forward with any projections they may be working on, allowing the rest of the bookkeeping services team to focus on production. During his rare moments away from the office, Ted enjoys going on long road trips with his wife and three sons, spending time in the garden, and getting involved in the community by coaching youth sports.

Chris Watson

Chris Watson

Chris has been Lead Bookkeeper at Drive Accounting since 2017 and refuses to divulge any additional information about himself. I believe he lives up on a hill somewhere in Oregon and he might keep chickens. He drinks sixteen cups of coffee a day and I’ve heard him make the occasional South Park reference so I’m guessing he might also own a television. Chris probably went to a school at some point, but we cannot know this for sure. Some say he’s best friends with Bigfoot, but I think that those rumors are most likely exaggerated and they’re just casual acquaintances.
Thomas Cooper

Thomas Cooper

Thomas joined the Drive team in November of 2019 as a Bookkeeper/Tech Support, and currently does the bookkeeping for most Drive’s monthly clients and handles any IT problems that Drive encounters. He has a wealth of experience in computer technology and IT, a set of skills that enables him to manage and support our cloud infrastructure, an important and unique feature that Drive offers clients. Thomas is from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania but currently lives in Oregon with his fiancé and child, with whom he enjoys spending quality time at home, though he also has a passion for traveling and visiting all the beautiful and interesting places Earth has to offer.
Jack Jones

Jack Jones

Jack has been a QuickBooks Consultant with Drive since January 2020. Sometimes a production level bookkeeper and sometimes controller, sometimes consultant. Jack untangles difficult books and helps clients find their way through the processes of tracking their financials. Originally from Sitka, Alaska, Jack has a lifelong love of music. He has been a DJ since 1989 and an electronic music producer since 1991. He lives in Oregon with his partner in crime and their two daughters.

Salena Harlan

Salena Harlan

Salena joined Drive as a Bookkeeper in October 2021. New to the world of accounting, she’s enthusiastic about learning new skills and mastering the ins and outs of monthly bookkeeping. She prides herself on bringing an open mindset wherever she goes and overcoming any challenges in her path. When she’s not at Drive, Salena enjoys spending time with friends and family, playing Magic: The Gathering, and listening to whatever genre of music fits her mood at the moment.

Eric, Ted and their team at Drive have been great to work with over the years. They are competitively priced and do fantastic work! I highly recommend them and refer my clients to Drive regularly.
