Pam thrives on continuing to learn, not only for herself, but for others as well. She feels part of her purpose in life is to help others gain knowledge and make informed decisions on matters that concern their overall financial picture.

Pam excels with the ever-changing tax challenges she faces each year, while serving her tax clients with understanding beyond a once-a-year tax return. She especially enjoys the depth of service she can provide to her tax clients who also benefit from our comprehensive financial planning and investment advisory services. She delights in the aspect of educating them on the best time to incur and delay taxable transactions to best fit their financial life, both now and in the future.

Pam graduated with Distinction from Indiana University. For over 25 years, she has continued to work in public accounting with a focus on taxation. She joined Juli Erhart-Graves to form Smitson Erhart-Graves Tax Advisors, LLC in 2011.

Pam has served as a board member for many charitable and professional organizations over the years. Currently, she serves on the advisory board and as a discipleship mentor at her church.

Pam and her husband Dan have one teenage daughter, Katie, who attends college, an adult daughter, Deana (husband Gary) who is a nurse and one granddaughter, Brynlee. They share their home with Flora (Irish Setter). Together, their family spends as many summer weekends at the campground as possible!
