Meet our Staff: Carolyn Flaherty

I am Carolyn Flaherty. I have had the pleasure of working for PRR, LLC for about ten years. Prior to coming to PRR, I worked in the Boston office of PWC in the financial services tax group under several dynamic and inspiring partners. At PWC I learned the complex issues that surround partnership taxation and became a partnership specialist. After having two children within seventeen months, I decided that I needed to work closer to home, (home being Wrentham MA). I was extremely lucky to find a local firm whose needs fit my expertise. In the beginning I worked only seasonally for PRR completing returns for a grouping of partnerships that deal in race horses, several real estate venture capital partnerships and a historic sightseeing business, (to name a few) and assisting with the tax season rush. I have evolved to become a year round part of the firm.

During the past ten years I've had two more children to round out our household with two girls and two boys ranging in age from twelve to three. PRR has offered me the flexibility to be there for my family while still continuing and growing in my career as a CPA. Professionalism, Responsibility and Respect are not just buzz words or ideals we offer our clients. They are the culture at PRR and the reason that our staff chooses long term careers with the firm. The members of our team treat each other like professionals allowing us to take care of our personal commitments while trusting we will serve our clients well. The team takes responsibility not only for their own workload, but is there to help and support each other when needed. Each and every member is reliable. They work efficiently and effectively. Because of this culture, we are all able to enjoy our work and our personal passions. I truly feel blessed to be a member of this team.

When people ask me what I "do," I usually respond by saying that I am a CPA. However, in reality, I am much more. I am a proud mother and an avid reader. I enjoy yoga and time at the gym. I like to garden and cook for my family or whatever crowd of people happen to be at my house at the moment. I work hard and I play hard. I love music, dancing, cats, shoes, horror movies and a good martini. I am a wife, an aunt, one of four sisters, and a daughter to two loving and supportive parents. I am active in our church and enjoying teaching CCD. I am able to be all these things and be a professional because I am part of an amazing team of CPA's at Pavento, Ratcliffe, Renzi & Co., LLC.
