Strong Shareholder Experience

The shareholders of KRMT began their professional careers with international accounting firms. During their collective 70+ years at these firms, they each noticed the trend among “Big Four” and other international accounting firms to work only with “mega” clients in the Florida marketplace. This strategic direction was in conflict with the personal philosophy of our shareholders in terms of working closely with their clients to provide annual assurance, tax and consulting services, as well as seeking to develop long-term personal working relationships. As a result of these changes in emphasis by the international firms, KRMT was formed.

Firm Background

For over fifteen years, KRMT has been providing assurance, tax and advisory services to its clients. Our success during these years is affirmation that opportunities exist for local CPA firms who are committed to staying abreast of the latest financial developments and who seek to foster long-term relationships with their clients. Our practice is divided evenly, in terms of both revenue and personnel, between assurance and tax disciplines. Our 80+ current employees serve clients throughout the United States from our centrally located office in the Carillon/Feather Sound area of Tampa Bay. The 2008 Book of Lists compiled by the Tampa Bay Business Journal lists KRMT as one of the largest local CPA firms based in Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater.
