How We Got Here!
KVR.CPA grew out of the merger of two firms founded by Nancy Kelly, Jonathan Vitale, and Ken Raffol, who met through the CPA peer review process. In response to the challenges facing CPA firms today, namely: staff retention, peer review, and the changing economic environment was a simple solution. Each firm has a commitment to serve a niche market, the not-for-profit and tax-exempt community. We merged our firms with a mandate to maintain our core DNA which was at the heart of our success.
There are several reasons why accounting firms may choose to merge, including the opportunity to expand their services and geographical reach, the ability to bring together complementary skills and expertise, and the opportunity to increase efficiency and reduce costs by sharing resources. The fees did not increase, and the service is still the same high quality with more resources for the clients and the staff.
