A family in a team

Culture

Our people are our greatest asset. The RRBB team has created and supported a progressive, collegial workplace with a true family atmosphere. We help each other develop skills, understanding, expertise, and great relationships that last for entire careers. From mentoring and teaching to community service and company events, the time, experience, and relationships assist you on your road to professional and personal success.

What RRBB Has Been Up To

RRBB features a diverse team of tax accountants, auditors, consultants, and business advisors who have become family. Here is some of the exciting stuff we have going on:

Some of our staff accountants visited the local community college, RVCC, volunteering to participate in mock interviews and helping students prepare for the next stage in their careers. The best part? That student sitting there, Cesar, is now an intern here at RRBB!

What a beautiful day for a little mini golf competition! Rob Quick, Chair of our SEC Practice Group, showed off his skills while the firm sponsored The SPAC Conference, hosted by DealFlow Events, in Rye, New York.

The firm's first Women's Forum meeting! “It’s important for us women to support each other. Especially for working mothers, juggling the work-life balance can be tough. It’s nice that, at RRBB, we can push each other in a positive way, and hopefully break barriers for the next generation of women in business,” Danielle Weiss, Chair, said.

Some of our staff accountants were networking in the sun at the Somerset County Business Partnership‘s BizFest!

Jackie Engelsman, the Director of Marketing and Business Development, and Stephanie Marte, one of our tax supervisors, recently represented the firm at the New Jersey State Bar Association‘s Annual Meeting and Conference in Atlantic City.

RRRB team members got together to raise money for the Franklin Township Food Bank through its 2022 Tour de Franklin. So, with four riders and much more support, the team contributed $694 toward the $130,000 raised!

What Our People Have to Say

Coming from a large firm, I am excited to now have the opportunity to be an entrepreneurial advocate. Here, I can provide the attention needed for clients and prospective clients to develop and achieve their financial goals. I look forward to also improving our employee experience by implementing more advanced technology, soft-skill training, and other crucial skills necessary for us to develop and become a more modern and diverse talent force.  

JOE CAPLAN, PARTNER

I’m excited to be a part of the RRBB team with other dedicated professionals who work hard to provide clients with exceptional service. Everyone here is friendly and intelligent – two qualities I feel are important for success.  

ASHLEY CONDO, SUPERVISOR

Before the internship: I wanted a small firm since more personal relationships can be formed therefore the learning experience is more personalized. It is a great opportunity to learn from very successful individuals. It is also valuable to learn about how a successful accounting firm operates! After her internship: It's a bittersweet feeling as my internship at RRBB is coming to an end. I am so grateful for this opportunity and have learned a lot as well as met some amazing people. RRBB has a positive and productive work environment that I'm so appreciative I got to be a part of. I have been exposed to both the tax and audit side of accounting and got first hand experience of what a day in the life of a CPA is like. Thank you to the RRBB staff for being so welcoming, supportive, and patient. I can see how this mid-size firm has made such a big name for itself! My experience has provided me with a valuable foundation in the field of accounting and I look forward to continuing to build on it.  

EMMA EVANKO, INTERN

So far, my time at RRBB has been quite the learning experience. I enjoy being a part of this evolving industry, especially while working side-by-side with my coworkers here. Because our partners have an open-door policy, everyone here is approachable, and you can learn a lot by asking questions and getting relatable answers.  

BOBBY FENTON, STAFF ACCOUNTANT

[During my internship,] I was able to get a good feel for a lot of different things and make connections with all the people here. The managers work with you, so you learn a lot more on a broader spectrum to figure out what you like to do.  

CHRIS KIMOCK, STAFF ACCOUNTANT

This is so much more than just a job, numbers, and dollar signs. It’s important that I can focus on client relationships while working on complex, challenging work. I’m fortunate to have that opportunity. Here, we provide all the tools necessary to succeed. So, it’s up to you to decide how far you want to go in your career. For that, I am extremely thankful.  

SAL LAVADERA, PARTNER

I chose RRBB because it displays a really good work environment. I can learn a lot and advance in my career, which is mutually beneficial for the firm and me.

 

ADAM VANDERWIELE, STAFF ACCOUNTANT

The Mom struggle is real!!! Every day is a new challenge. Especially today with the effects of COVID-19, the challenging society we live in, and having little children. RRBB has allowed me to maintain a balance of work and family. My RRBB Partners have supported me from Day 1 and have provided me with the resources necessary to excel in my career – as long as you do your work, you’re efficient, and you communicate and maintain relationships with your clients. This is rare today.
