ABOUT US

Here at Ranta CPA + Associates we seek to provide value to our clients beyond compliance and tax returns.  Through proactive consulting, planning, strategy, and tact, we can help you make better financial decisions, manage your business more effectively, and have greater confidence in your future.  Yes, preparing and filing tax returns "keeps the lights on," both at our office and within state, local, and federal government facilities, however, our ultimate goal is to enrich the lives of our clients and those around us.  You can think of us as your family, friends, and trusted advisers.

​

Our mantra is that good service is everything.  If we provide good service, we have happy clients.  Happy clients pay their bills, and well-supported clients grow their own businesses, start new businesses, and are empowered to live their best lives.  Happy clients also often send us referrals and help our firm learn and grow.  As we expand, we can hire more staff and increase compensation for the team, and deploy new software and tools (and we're almost entirely paperless now, despite the image to the right!). 

 

As fiduciaries, we must act in our clients' best interest, which is the cornerstone of our professional obligations to you.  We find mutual benefit in your success, and we hope to keep you as a client for life.

​

As an employer, we seek to provide growth and learning opportunities for our staff, in addition to offering competitive compensation and benefits within the industry.  We have always believed in flexible and hybrid scheduling, emphasized education, and promoted personal development outside of the office.

​

We are thankful that we have been able to grow without a large advertising budget, with our biggest marketing expenditure being our Little League team sponsorship each year.  Our growth has come entirely through happy client referrals and client success, which we have no intention of stopping anytime soon.

VICTOR SZMANIA, CPA

Jr. Partner, Founder

Victor began working with Tiffanie in 2013, as a "green" post graduate with very little on his resume.  Displaying a knack for spreadsheets and customer service skills developed within the family restaurant, Tiffanie decided to give Victor a job.  He oversees the business accounting services department, as well as managing the IT and operations of the firm.  Victor enjoys helping businesses solve problems and working through challenging situations.
