It opens by saying "great accounting is never one-size-fits-all" and that the firm has built expertise serving specific professional niches. The industries the page names, each with its own section, are: Medical Professionals (described as doctors, dentists and practice owners), Marketing Agencies, Financial Advisors, Law Firms, the trades (the page names electricians, plumbers, contractors and trades), and Real Estate Professionals. Each section describes the kinds of work the firm says it does for that group. For medical practices the page lists setting up entity and compensation structures, planning for large purchases, creating predictable cash flow, and aligning practice profits with personal wealth goals. For marketing agencies it lists stabilising cash flow, building financial systems that show project and client profitability, handling 1099 contractors and team growth, and planning owner pay and profit. For financial advisors and law firms the page describes reviewing compensation and entity structures and partner compensation models. For real estate professionals it describes expense tracking, planning around commission income and entity structure. These are marketing descriptions of service areas. They are not tax advice, and none of them means a particular strategy, deduction or structure applies to any individual business. Whether the firm can take on a given industry or a given client is a question for the firm. The page also offers downloadable industry tax guides. The site does not publish prices, rates or fees for any industry service. Contact the office on 614-456-7222 or through the consultation form.

It states that the firm's staff are QuickBooks ProAdvisors and that they manage QuickBooks for clients. Three areas are described. Setup covers assisting new QuickBooks users with initial setup including the Easy Step Interview, preferences, lists, customers, vendors, employees, banking and reports, and improving the current setup for experienced users. Support covers setup or operational assistance plus accounting assistance. Review is for companies that perform their own daily accounting and payroll tasks but want an accounting and payroll expert to review transactions, accounts and reports; the page says reviews may be conducted at any time and that the firm recommends monthly or quarterly reviews. Payroll is offered under the name H Pay. The payroll page describes H Pay as "a boutique payroll service available exclusively to Harper and Company clients," powered by Paylocity, with an in-house dedicated payroll expert who the page says has more than 12 years of experience in the payroll industry and is available 24/7 for urgent matters.

On personal and business returns the page states the firm prepares and files or e-files tax returns for partnerships, s-corporations, c-corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), trusts, estates and non-profits, and that "we represent clients in states throughout the country." The page also says tax compliance services are often combined with advisory and consulting services. A separate accounting services page lists financial statement preparation, bank reconciliation, bookkeeping and EIN applications. On EIN applications the page says the firm works directly with the IRS on the client's behalf as a third-party designee and reviews the submission for errors before processing the filing.
