RKL LLP - Reading

RKL LLP maintains its Reading area office at 1330 Broadcasting Rd in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, serving individuals, families, business owners and organizations throughout Berks County and the surrounding region. The office is part of RKL LLP, a regional accounting and advisory firm with locations across Pennsylvania and neighboring states. The Wyomissing location functions as the firm's Berks County base, staffed by certified public accountants and advisors who work with clients on tax, audit, accounting and consulting matters.

The firm operates as a full service public accounting practice rather than a seasonal tax preparation office. That distinction matters for the kinds of questions clients bring: alongside annual returns, the professionals here handle financial statement work, long range planning, business transitions and the day to day accounting needs of closely held companies. Appointments are recommended, and the office can be reached at +1 610-376-1595.

Tax Services

Tax work forms a significant share of the practice. For businesses, that includes federal, state and local compliance, entity structuring questions, multistate filing obligations, sales and use tax matters, and planning around credits and incentives. Pennsylvania businesses often face a layered set of state and municipal requirements, and firms of this size typically keep specialists familiar with those rules.

On the individual side, the office works with business owners, executives, professionals, retirees and families on income tax returns, estimated payments, estate and gift planning considerations, charitable giving strategies and the tax consequences of selling a business or transferring assets to the next generation. Because the same professionals often handle both the business return and the owner's personal return, planning conversations tend to address the whole picture rather than a single filing.

Audit and Assurance

Assurance services include financial statement audits, reviews and compilations prepared for lenders, bonding companies, investors, boards and regulators. Nonprofit organizations and governmental entities that receive federal funding may require single audits conducted under applicable federal standards. Employee benefit plan audits, including those for retirement plans that cross participant thresholds, are another common area of work for firms of this scale. Agreed upon procedures engagements and internal control reviews round out the assurance offerings.

Advisory and Consulting

Beyond compliance work, RKL provides a range of advisory services that address how a business is run and where it is headed. Typical engagements include:

• Business valuation for sales, buyouts, gifting, litigation and estate purposes
• Transaction advisory, including due diligence for buyers and sellers
• Succession and exit planning for family owned and closely held companies
• Outsourced accounting support, from bookkeeping and payroll coordination to controller and chief financial officer level guidance
• Forensic accounting and fraud investigation
• Internal control assessment and risk management
• Technology and cybersecurity advisory, including system selection and data protection practices
• Human resources consulting, compensation review and organizational development
• Wealth management and retirement planning through the firm's affiliated advisory arm

The outsourced accounting option is often used by smaller organizations that need accurate monthly financials and payroll handling without hiring a full internal finance department, as well as by growing companies that have outgrown a part time bookkeeper but are not ready for a full time controller.

Industries Served

Berks County's economy includes manufacturing, distribution, construction, agriculture, health care and a substantial nonprofit and institutional sector, and the Wyomissing office works across those areas. Common industry concentrations for the firm include manufacturing and distribution, construction and real estate, health care and senior living, nonprofit and government entities, financial institutions, professional services firms, agriculture and food processing, and transportation and logistics. Industry focus affects more than vocabulary: inventory accounting for a manufacturer, percentage of completion reporting for a contractor and cost reporting for a senior living provider each require specific technical knowledge.

Location and Access

The Broadcasting Road corridor in Wyomissing sits just west of Reading and is a concentrated area of professional offices, medical practices and corporate tenants, convenient to Route 422 and the Route 222 interchange. The location draws clients from Reading, Wyomissing, Shillington, Sinking Spring, Exeter Township, Birdsboro, Kutztown, Hamburg and the broader Berks County area, as well as from parts of Lancaster, Lebanon, Schuylkill, Montgomery and Chester counties.

The property includes a wheelchair accessible parking lot. Visitors who use mobility devices or who need particular accommodations can call ahead so the office can make arrangements before the appointment.

Working With the Firm

Appointments are recommended rather than walk in visits, which allows the office to match a client with the appropriate specialist and to prepare in advance. Prospective clients generally begin with an introductory conversation about their situation, the services they need and the scope of an engagement before any work begins. For a first meeting, it is useful to bring recent tax returns, current financial statements, entity formation documents for businesses, and a list of the questions or decisions that prompted the call.

Timing is worth considering. The weeks leading up to the spring filing deadline are the busiest stretch for any accounting practice, and clients who want planning conversations rather than compliance work often find more availability in the late spring through autumn months. Businesses with fiscal year ends other than December should plan their audit and tax calendars accordingly.
