Meet the Team

At DRDA, our strength is in our people. We believe that
behind every great solution is a team of professionals
who lead with integrity, think strategically, and care
deeply about the clients they serve.

From Business Advisors and CPAs, to operations leaders and client relations experts, each team member plays a vital role in delivering the quality, service, and innovation that DRDA is known for.

Our firm culture rewards creativity, collaboration, and continuous growth. We’re not just advisors and
accountants—we’re problem solvers, educators, mentors, trusted advisors and advocates. United by shared
values and a clear mission, we work together to help businesses thrive and achieve sustainability.
