Bill Harbeson

Director of Energy Insentives at Capstan Tax Strategies

Speaker

If there’s one thing Bill Harbeson knows, it’s construction. He started by installing HVAC after high school, spent years in construction management, and smoothly transitioned to tax consulting with a construction focus. Bill attributes part of his success to the sheer volume of Energy Studies he’s overseen in the last decade – he’s seen every scenario, addressed every nuance, and left no dollar behind. But more than that, Bill believes in a client-centric approach, striving to create the positive service experiences that taxpayers – and tax professionals — deserve.

Education:

Bachelor of Science (BS), Mechanical Engineering, Texas Tech University

• Strong construction background allows him to speak the “language” of industry professionals, helping him better understand their needs

Behind the Scenes:
