KLR Newsroom KLR Recognized as a Best Place to Work in Rhode Island for the 20th Time April 22, 2026 KLR, a leading accounting and advisory firm, has once again been named a Best Place to Work in Rhode Island, marking the 20th time the firm has received this recognition. “Earning this recognition once is meaningful. Earning it 20 times tells a different story,” said Paul Oliveira, Chief Executive Officer at KLR. “It reflects a culture that has been built intentionally over time, one that continues to evolve based on what our people need to succeed, both professionally and personally.”The Best Place to Work designation is based on confidential employee feedback, offering insight into what matters most to today’s workforce. For KLR, that feedback has helped shape ongoing investments in professional development, leadership accessibility, and workplace flexibility. "We don’t view this as an endpoint. The feedback we receive continues to guide how we grow as a firm. It challenges us to stay relevant, to listen, and to make thoughtful changes that support our team." Paul Oliveira, CEO Beyond internal culture, KLR sees a direct connection between employee experience and the role the firm plays in the business community. The firm works closely with business owners, nonprofit leaders, and a network of advisors, to help organizations navigate growth, complexity, and change.“A strong culture doesn’t stay inside the firm,” said Oliveira. “It shows up in how we serve clients, how we collaborate with other professionals, and how we contribute to the business community. When our people feel supported and empowered, it directly impacts the level of insight and service we bring to the organizations we work with.”As KLR reflects on its 20th recognition, the firm remains focused on the future, continuing to adapt to the changing nature of work while maintaining the values that have defined its culture over time.
