Since joining KLR in January 2009, my clients (our clients) have truly benefited from the services that KLR provides and the expertise received from the people at KLR.

I am overjoyed with being invited to join the shareholder group at KLR as it allows me the certainty that I will be able to continue to enjoy previously established business relationships as well as the opportunity to develop new ones throughout the New England business community. I have been fortunate to be a part of a team of talented professionals at KLR for many years and this new role will now allow me to assist leading the firm in our ongoing journey of providing unparalleled client service while developing and maintaining the most talented team members. Current and future clients should have the confidence and assurance that our firm will continuously evolve to insure we are here to service their needs.” John E. Surrette Jr. - “Looking back to the first day I stepped into KLR’s office on Hope Street over 16 years ago as an intern, I remember thinking about how little I knew about accounting and was looking forward to learning what being a CPA and working for a CPA firm entailed. Now that I have become a shareholder, it gives me a great sense of pride thinking about all of the experiences I have had over the years (some better than others), and am eager to continue to help KLR and our clients grow over the next 16 years and beyond.”
