What We've Been Up To

RRBB features a diverse team of accountants and advisors who have become family. Here are some exciting things happening here at RRBB:

Partners and Managing Members, Sal Lavadera and Brian Zucker, had the honor of visiting the New York Stock Exchange for a tour and took that opportunity to meet some incredible people making exciting moves in the business world!

RRRB team members and their families get together annually to "spread love" and awareness by walking in Making Strides of Central New Jersey's fight against breast cancer!

Our Women's Forum was very excited to celebrate our inclusion in the inaugural NJBIZ “Empowering Women” awards! These awards recognize companies that support, mentor, and promote women in their industries and communities.

We love visiting our alma maters for career fairs! It's always nice to talk to the next generation about their goals and provide insight into what opportunities await them after school. Be sure to keep an eye out for them at a college or university near you!

We were proud to support Hillsborough Fire Company by sponsoring their annual golf outing. Andy Fingerhut, one of our Partners and Managing Members, is actually an active volunteer firefighter there! We appreciate all our first responders do and are happy to give back.

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

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 + MANAGING MEMBER

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 GIANOTTI, 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, SENIOR 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, SENIOR 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 + MANAGING MEMBER

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, SENIOR 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.  

DANIELLE WEISS, SENIOR MANAGER
