Our Core Values

Invested. Enthusiastic. Beyond expectations. 

“Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.”
– Theodore Roosevelt 

Value each other, the work we do, and everyone we serve. 

“At the end of the day people won’t remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel.”
– Maya Angelou

We own our work, our goals, and our mission.

“Take ownership. Whatever it takes. No excuses, no explanations.”
– Tony Dungy

We take care of today…for tomorrow.

“Things that matter most, must never be at the mercy of things that matter least.”
– Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Cooperating + Communicating + Collaborating = Extraordinary Results

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”
– Helen Keller

Raising the bar. Ensuring success.

“Success is not owned — it’s leased. And rent is due every day.”
– J.J. Watt

For each other. For our community. 

“We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.”
– Winston Churchill

RBG Core Awards

Below are the firm members who have been recognized this year by their team for their outstanding dedication to living RBG's Core Values each day.

Passion

Mimi McCarroll

Recruiting & HR Coordinator

“I can’t think of a more passionate person than Mimi when it comes to her job. She is responsible for the onboarding of all new employees and even before that recruiting them to come into the door. She loves her job. She tells everybody about it. She really loves RBG and you can just tell that by the way she acts on a day to day basis.”

Respect

Connie Drake

Office Coordinator

“Connie is the face of RBG. When you step out of the elevator or call the office she is the first face you see and voice that you hear. Connie makes you feel like you are the only person in the room and you are the most important conversation that she is going to have that day. You get her undivided attention. She’s interested and invested in you as a person and what’s going on in your life. She forges relationships with everyone throughout the firm and shows a huge amount of respect to our clients when they come in.”

Ownership

Nick Morris

Audit Manager

“Nick owns his client relationships. He owns any type of engagement. He owns recruiting. He owns being involved in any aspect of the firm, so it’s not just within one area. Nick will always be committed to having a plan to execute no matter what the project is. Nick will walk in, ask questions, and have a plan long before I even have a chance to sit down and come up with a plan. He wants to make sure he’s successful, the team is successful, and ultimately the firm is successful.”

Stewardship

Sandi Scruggs

Tax Administrator

“Sandi’s role is she heads up our tax admin group. A lot people don’t realize what all that entails. It touches every deliverable that a client gets. It touches the inflow of information from clients. She is the cornerstone of the department. She’s managing all of this workflow, she has trained multiple people over a period of time to get them to perform their best, she has been heavily involved with the text stack changes the department has made over the last 7 or 8 years. I don’t think that it can be underestimated as to how vital Sandi is.“

Teamwork

Aries Rinosa

Audit Manager

“In the Philippines, he is pretty much the go-to guy whether it comes to employee benefits plans or anything US GAAP related. He even taught a class at GSC on US GAAP. He goes above and beyond not only here but in the Philippines. He makes it a priority for everyone to connect on a personal level by organizing events, trips, and mini vacations. Thanks to his efforts, the team has gotten to know each other really well, and many have become close friends."

Elevation

Matt Day

Client Advisory & Accounting Services Leader

“There’s not a better core value out there that describes Matt other than Elevation. When Matt first got here, he wasn’t trained in Client Advisory and Accounting Services at all, but we knew after talking with him and the people he used to work with that he had the desire and the ability to take our CAAS to the next level. That’s what he does. He’s always raising the bar. When you think of the quote “Success is not owned, it’s leased, and rent is due everyday” that’s exactly what Matt does. He gets off the elevator everyday and constantly looks to elevate himself and others. That’s why clients are drawn to him because he leads by example. Everybody wants to be associated with Matt."

Community

Kelly Crow

Tax Partner

“When I think of our community core value, I think of internal and external communities. There’s nobody here in the firm that lives this core value better than Kelly does. That’s the reason we are here today, the Core Award concept, she came up with that and it’s fantastic. She also came up with Spilling the Tea at RBG which is another great way of living our internal community core value. When you think of external community core values, Kelly also leads by example there. Currently she is the president of the TSCPA, she’s on the AICPA council, she’s sat on multiple boards. One thing that Kelly does with the community core value is she always takes leadership in whatever she does and that’s evident here at the firm because that’s why she’s a partner at RBG today.”

Live Well, Work Well

Rain Bulanadi

Tax Senior

“Rain inspires me by the way he has figured out to set time out for himself, to better himself, both physically, which we can all see but I would say just as importantly mentally. He comes to work everyday with an attitude that is just awesome. That rubs off on people. If you are around someone who is filled with joy, cracking jokes, that makes people around you feel better. From my own experience, that put’s me in a better mood and I assume it’s that way for others.
