On May 6, 2025, RP&B CPAs proudly celebrated a milestone 40 years in the making. Hosted at the elegant Victoria Club, our anniversary celebration brought together all the clients, team members, and associates who have played a pivotal part in shaping our story over the decades.
From our humble beginnings in 1985, RP&B CPAs has grown into a respected and relationship-driven public accounting firm, grounded by a mission of excellence, integrity, and professionalism. This event honored not just the longevity of our firm, but the people and partnerships that made our success possible.
A Celebration of Legacy and Partnerships
The evening began with a vibrant networking reception and guests were welcomed with live entertainment, including close-up magic performed by Ian Galloway and the warm, ambient hum from our ceremony’s harpist. Guests mingled throughout the country club’s main dining room and lobby, stopping for photos and reliving memories with former colleagues and longtime partners.
The celebration eventually transitioned into dinner, where the firm’s current partners awarded our original founders with trophies acknowledging the firm’s legacy. Other noteworthy topics included our commitment to client success, the strength of our founding partners, and the growth of our team, now over 30 members strong across three departments.
Our Managing Shareholder, Michael Kouyoumdjian, delivered a heartfelt speech reflecting on RP&B’s journey—from performing our first ESOP audit in 1995 to becoming a recognized name in specialized employee benefit plan services. His remarks honored the clients in attendance who have been with us for over 30 years, a true testament to the trust and collaboration we strive for.
Looking Ahead with Gratitude
Our 40th anniversary was not only a night of reflection, but one of renewed commitment. While the past four decades have laid a strong foundation, we are energized by what lies ahead—continued innovation, stronger partnerships, and unwavering dedication to helping our clients to succeed.
To everyone who joined us on this special night and to those who have supported us through the years: thank you. You are an essential part of our story.
Here’s to the next chapter.
