About us
Roberto Sharon, CPA, CIA, CGMA began his professional career in 1993 and thereafter worked in two of the biggest accounting firms in the nation, gaining valuable experience in auditing and assurance and advisory business services. Roberto obtained vast experience in coordinating, planning and supervising audit engagements. Among the industries he audited in the private arena were manufacturing, distribution, construction, developers, non-for-profit entities and employee benefit plans. In the governmental sector he performed single audits for governmental entities working with St. Thomas and Puerto Rico government, Municipalities in Puerto Rico and Utilities entities.
While working on the "big" firms, Roberto realized that he possessed the unique combination of industry expertise and client-focused audit approach to quickly tailor an initial audit approach to efficiently perform the audit. Additionally, he gained plenty experience in tax compliance in order to prepare company or individual income tax returns, no matter how complicated and to skillfully maneuver through the bureaucracy of the local and federal governmental and tax agencies in benefit of his clients. In addition, he had vast experience in solving business problems in finance, transactions, operations, governance, risk and compliance. This made him eager to start his own practice, one that would effectively intersect his experience with his potential clients interests.
