Dear Valued Clients and Friends,

With another tax season behind us, our team is grateful for the trust you continue to place in Rivero, Gordimer & Company. It is a privilege to serve our clients through one of the busiest times of year, and we never take that responsibility lightly.

As we move into summer, this issue gives us a chance to share more of what makes RGCO who we are: the people behind the work, the professional milestones we are proud to celebrate, the community relationships we continue to build, and the timely updates that help our clients stay informed.

We are also looking ahead to several important events and opportunities, including our 9th Annual Nonprofit Appreciation Day this November. It remains one of our favorite ways to bring nonprofit leaders together for connection, insight, and conversation.

Thank you again for your continued confidence in our firm. We appreciate the opportunity to serve you and look forward to the months ahead.

Warm Regards,

Herman V. Lazzara, CPA
