Accumulus’ Post

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! 📸

As a member of HAWAII ISLAND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, Accumulus' leadership Stacey Katakura, CPA and Brandon Asuncion, CPA attended Pacific Business News' Hawaii Island Business Panel last week in Hilo and learned about many issues impacting the island's business community like staffing shortages, employee retention, pay scales and managing responsible tourism. We're here to help organizations better understand their financials to make informed decisions on how to better address these challenges.

Last week, our Founder & CEO Stacey Katakura, CPA and President Brandon Asuncion, CPA had the opportunity to attend the groundbreaking of a crucial housing project on Maui, Ka La'i Ola, which will support wildfire survivors ineligible for FEMA aid by building 450 temporary housing units. This housing project is led by our newest nonprofit client HomeAid Hawaii and is a unique partnership across the state of Hawai‘i, Maui County, the state Department of Human Services (DHS), the Hawai‘i Community Foundation (HCF). Ka Laʻi Ola means ‘The Place of Peaceful Recovery,' and we're honored to support this initiative toward long-term recovery for Maui.

Our Founder and CEO Stacey Katakura, CPA was one of the mentors supporting Pacific Business News' 11th annual #mentoringmonday which took place this week. Opportunities like this make us excited about the next wave of business leaders serving our local community!
