Ramon F. Garcia & Company, CPAs (RFGCO), a distinguished accountancy and consultancy firm based in the Philippines, has been a beacon of excellence and innovation for many years. With its expertise spanning five critical areas of accounting and finance services—audit, tax, advisory, risk, and outsource—RFGCO has carved a unique niche in the industry.
Founded in March 1981 by Ramon F. Garcia, RFGCO started as a solo practice and quickly evolved into a general professional partnership known for its professionalism and quality services. After several years as Garcia De Castro & Co., it was rebranded in May 1988 as Ramon F. Garcia and Company. This transition marked the beginning of a new era, with Garcia, alongside his brother Josefino F. Garcia, steering the firm towards becoming a globally competitive team of professionals.
In 2008, RFGCO's journey reached a significant milestone when it joined Crowe Global (formerly Crowe Horwath International). As part of one of the largest accounting networks in the world, with over 200 independent firms in more than 145 countries, RFGCO aligns with Crowe's ethos of making smart decisions for multinational clients. This association not only extends RFGCO's reach globally but also reinforces its commitment to delivering exceptional service backed by a workforce of over 40,000 professionals and global revenues of US$4.9 billion.
Crowe's leaders work closely with governments, regulatory bodies, and industry groups, shaping the future of the accounting profession worldwide. This global perspective, combined with exceptional knowledge of business, local laws, and customs, provides lasting value to clients undertaking international projects, a benefit that RFGCO leverages for its clientele.
At its core, RFGCO is a medium-sized firm with over a hundred dedicated staff members, reflecting the importance of excellence in every task. The firm's focus on spiritual and values formation activities contributes to the career and character development of its employees. Continuous technical training and development programs ensure the team stays at the forefront of industry knowledge and skills.
RFGCO's client portfolio, heavily focused on assurance services, speaks to its integral role in clients' decision-making processes. From providing professional opinions to conducting information systems security reviews and operational analysis, the firm commits its best resources to achieve client goals. Other services include accounting and internal audit outsourcing, tax consultancy, business registration, government compliance, and corporate business advisory.
As RFGCO continues to grow and evolve, it remains dedicated to three core objectives: contributing to the success of its clients' business goals, maintaining strong relationships with partners, and expanding its market reach. With its affiliation with Crowe Global, RFGCO stands on a robust platform of global resources and expertise, poised to deliver the best results and remain a trusted choice in the Philippine business community.
Accredited by various government agencies such as the BOA/PRC, BIR, SEC, CDA, IC, BSP, and PCAOB, RFGCO's credibility is unquestionable. As it embarks on new chapters beyond its 30-year milestone, RFGCO continues to be synonymous with trust, excellence, and innovation in accountancy and consultancy, both in the Philippines and on the global stage.
