Greg, a CPA and Microsoft Certified Professional, has more than 20 years experience in system selection, design, implementation, data migration, training and supervision of accounting and data processing operations in a wide array of business operations.
In 1988 when Greg founded ERG his mission was to create an organization that would attract the best employees and provide outstanding service to clients. Since then, Greg has built a successful organization that helps companies with business management application selection, implementation, training and
on-going support. ERG is consistently recognized for outstanding sales and service to clients and in 2002 was recognized as a Technology Pacesetter by Accounting Today magazine. Greg serves his company by developing and implementing the firm’s vision and strategic initiatives by working with the firm’s leaders.
His motivating and empowering leadership style has contributed to the success of the organization.

After graduating from the University of North Texas with a Master’s degree in Accounting, Greg joined the international public accounting firm of Ernst & Whinney, today Ernst & Young. There he worked in the audit and computer groups. Following his tenure at Ernst & Young, Greg was the assistant controller for nine U.S. Wireline Units of Schlumberger, an international oil field services company. He was responsible for financial reporting, budgeting and general accounting oversight along with various system-related development and conversion projects.
Don Zelezny, Vice President don.zelezny@ergnow.com
Don Zelezny, vice president, is responsible for maintaining and developing all strategic alliances for ERG. This includes technology companies and integrators as well as a special emphasis on assisting CPAs with their client's needs. Don has been working with the CPA community throughout his career and has promoted these, and all, relationships for mutual business benefit. Prior to this role, Don grew ERG's sales department by putting in place structure and strategy that serves as the basis for our business solutions team.
Don is a self-made man with a career that has always been centered around accounting and business management system sales. During his formative professional years, Don owned a successful distributorship for Safeguard. He was consistently recognized for highest growth among his peers. During this time, Don began working with database programs and developed an order entry system. He is a self-taught programmer and developed a predecessor to today’s CRM packages in the mid-80s.
One of Don's many strengths is to know where technology and its marketplace are headed and his ability to be there. Sensing the curtailment of the mainframe marketplace, he began recommending SCO UNIX networks and language compilers that converted existing mainframe applications to the easier-to-manage, more affordable SCO UNIX platform. From here, his passion for databases, capturing information and using that information to make better business decisions, became evident. Don began working with mid-market accounting products in the early 90s. In 1995, he merged his firm, Z Systems, with Greg Boyd's firm.Peyton Burch, Chief Operating Officer peyton.burch@ergnow.com
In May 2005, ERG named Peyton Burch to the position of Chief Operating Officer. Peyton is responsible for leading ERG’s sales and consulting teams in addition to serving on the ERG executive team, which sets corporate and growth strategy.
Prior to ERG, Peyton was President of Houston-based Burch Consultants. Burch Consultants was a top accounting and business management software application provider representing Sage Software’s products throughout the Gulf Coast. Under his leadership, Burch Consultants received numerous recognitions for outstanding levels of sales and service, including Sage Software’s prestigious Circle of Excellence award four out of the past six years. Their Authorized Training Center was consistently recognized as a top training center and the firm was a frequent member of the Technology Pacesetter list published by Accounting Technology. Committed to the highest ethical standards and continuing professional education, Burch Consultants played an active role in the ITA and AICPA. In May 2005, Burch Consultants was acquired by ERG.
Peyton obtained his BBA from Southern Methodist University in Dallas and his Masters in Professional Accounting from the University of Texas at Austin. Prior to joining Burch Consultants in 1986, Peyton was a senior consultant in the Management Information Consulting Division at Andersen. He became a Certified Public Accountant in 1989. He is a frequent speaker for the Houston Chapter of the Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants and the AICPA and a guest columnist for Accounting Today. Peyton is actively involved with the Information Technology Alliance and has served on the AICPA Technology Conference Committee for the past three years.
