Fall 2024 News & Updates

Dear Valued Clients and Friends,


Happy Fall from all of us at Rivero, Gordimer & Company! With Thanksgiving behind us and Christmas just around the corner, we're fully immersed in the festive spirit of the season.


In October, we celebrated another successful Nonprofit Appreciation Day. This, our seventh annual event, brought together nonprofit leaders and supporters for meaningful sessions, dynamic speakers, and invaluable networking. We're grateful for the opportunity to support such impactful work in our community.


While we celebrate successes, we’re also mindful of the challenges our beloved community has faced. Hurricanes Helene and Milton brought devastating impacts to many, and our thoughts remain with all those recovering. RGCO is committed to supporting our community through these tough times, standing together to rebuild stronger than ever.


Finally, we were honored to welcome Richard Gordimer, one of our firm’s founders, for a recent visit. It was a wonderful reminder of the strong foundation upon which RGCO continues to grow.


Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. Wishing you and your loved ones a safe and joyful holiday season.


Kind Regards,

Herman V. Lazzara, CPA

Managing Partner
