Riney Hancock to sponsor November Rooster Booster The Next Generation Riney Hancock CPAs has now ushered in a new generation of young professionals to help with the firm’s continued growth in the tri-state region. Professionals under the age of 35 now account for 48 percent of the firm’s total staff.

Hiring the next generation was a strategic investment that gave the firm the ability to continue the expansion of our tax services, accounting and payroll services, and our audit and assurance services divisions. Not only does this allow

us to increase our client base, but this expansion gives us the op-

portunity for strategic succession planning. We are growing for the

future and our young professionals are helping to lead the way.

These bright young professionals are involved with more than providing excellent service to our clients. They are also involved with mentoring, networking, business development, and teaching.

Our young professionals serve on various boards and committees, as well as volunteering for a variety of civic and professional organizations.

We would like to thank our young professionals for their hard work, commitment, and dedication to growing our firm. We look forward to the future they are helping to build at Riney Hancock CPAs.
