Accumulus

Last week, our exec team traveled to Denver for CPA.com's annual #DigitalCPA Conference which provided valuable conversations around technology, AI, and innovation—topics shaping the future of our profession. It was an opportunity to connect with industry peers, share insights, and explore new ways to serve our clients as trusted advisors. We’re excited to apply these learnings to continue driving progress for our clients and our team!

We're so thrilled to be supporting Chamber of Commerce Hawaii's Impact SmallBiz Accelerator Program! This free program provides small businesses and early-stage entrepreneurs mentorship, training and an opportunity to showcase their business, and our CEO Stacey Katakura, CPA is serving as a mentor and trainer for Cohort 2, and our President Brandon Asuncion, CPA is also one of the trainers. We look forward to seeing all these startups succeed!

ICYMI, our CEO Stacey Katakura, CPA was part of a recent Girls in Finance podcast sharing her journey from corporate finance to entrepreneurship and starting Accumulus, along with a little advice and perspective to those interested in a career in accounting and finance. Give it a listen, and let us know your thoughts!

An extra happy Aloha Friday, as we celebrate Jamey Muraoka! Not only is it her five-year anniversary with us, but we’ve also recently promoted her from Senior Associate to Accounting Manager!  We are proud of her growth over the years and happy to recognize and honor a valuable member of our organization. Congratulations Jamey! 👏 🙌

Glad we could be a part of the Chamber of Commerce Hawaii's 174th annual membership luncheon!  We’re also proud to partner with the Chamber to support their 2030 Blueprint for Hawaii to drive economic change across all our islands. If you didn't have a chance to stop by and say hi, send us a message to learn how we can help small businesses and non-profits!

Wrapping up September and our President's birthday month with an appreciation post! Hauʻoli lā hānau Brandon Asuncion, CPA, and mahalo nui for your leadership of our team, as well as your dedication to all our non-profit partners and clients!

Yesterday, we celebrated the life of our former Chief Furnancial Paw-fficer Bogey! We're happy we could honor him on his birthday at his favorite place--the office lobby where he'd regularly pick up his puppuccinos. The office won't be the same without him, but we know his spirit is supporting us! Mahalo to all that came out!

We have two great reasons (and women) to celebrate this week! Happiest of birthdays to our CEO and Founder Stacey Katakura, CPA and welcome to Accumulus' newest team member Melissa Fritz, our Client Concierge!"

A hui hou Anthony Chen and Roman Lajala, our Summer 2024 Interns! We're going to miss having you in the office but appreciate your help the last few months! We hope you’ve learned as much from the Accumulus team as we have from you both. It's been rewarding to foster the next generation of accountants and financial strategists for Hawai’i, and we look forward to continuing our internship program throughout the year! #hawaiibusiness #accountingservices #internship

Ho'omaika'i Licia Hill on your retirement! Glad we could celebrate you and all your years of hard work and dedication with Chamber of Commerce Hawaii--you've been such a gracious and supportive partner.  We are going to miss working with you, but now, it’s time to relax and enjoy yourself! Mahalo Joy Barua, MBA, MA-OC for capturing the moment! 📸
