Our Firm
Our Legacy
With over a hundred years of history, RBG has a lot to live up to. We are one of the oldest accounting firms in Memphis and our founders were some of the first CPAs licensed in Tennessee.
We have a time-tested reputation of providing high-quality service to our clients and a nurturing, educational environment for our team members. One of our goals is to live up to and grow that reputation as we move into the future. We consider ourselves to be as much a part of Memphis history as it is part of ours. We’ve grown alongside this city and put down roots that run deep. We want to continue to give back to the city that has given us so much.
Our history reaches into the past and we want our legacy to reach even farther into the future. The foundation upon which we will continue to build that legacy is formed by our seven core values. This is the very epitome of what it means to be a part of RBG.
