Our Partners

We are one family and that’s how we will treat you.

Meet the Gavrilov Dream Team:

Our New York City Founding Senior Partners

At Gavrilov and Company, you will see that the Senior Partners, Rudy and Diana Gavrilov have based their fun and success not only on making the clients happy, but on keeping their employees and part- time employees happy.

And happy people become super-productive. If this concept sounds vaguely familiar, it’s adapted from the culture established by Google’s business operations.

At Gavrilov and Company, the Gavrilovs, partners in both business and life, acknowledge that their kind of fun happens when their team-members see their clients succeed.

Founding Partner Rudy Gavrilov states, “We grew our business by leveraging the rapid growth of the Internet.” From the very beginning, through virtual visits, we knew we could bring the accountant to the business. Likewise, we knew we could reach out and go to the tax-challenged individual instead of the other way around. (instead of having them come to us)
And Founding Partner, Diana adds, “We have fun when we see clients comprehend the reality of better numbers, better business, better bottom line and a better life.–And none of this growth happens without better numbers.”

They knew they had found their niche when they over-heard one of their business clients call them the ‘cool’ accountants.”

The Beginning of Gavrilov and Company:

Our Story

Rudy and Diana both think of their New York City accounting business as born from friendship. While they were working in their corporate accounting positions, their personal friends and business acquaintances struggled with tax and accounting problems. As time went on, more and more of their circle of friends asked the couple for financial advice or tax consultation.

After a few years, as the couple gained professional accounting experience, they realized almost simultaneously that their friends were demonstrating a common problem: accounting situations became challenging obstacles to business owners. Before we continue the story, let’s take a look at each partner’s background:

Tax Partner Rudy Gavrilov Enrolled Agents

Meet Rudy Gavrilov:

After completing his degree work as an accounting major at Queen’s College in Flushing, New York, Rudy lost no time putting his education to work. Determined to balance his education with book practical corporate level work experience, Rudy spent 8 years in the public and private sectors of accounting.

Under the umbrella of Real Estate Accounting and Taxation, he specialized in implementing business operations with real estate investors and developers, construction companies and architectural firms. Executive employment with three major companies and as well as heading government projects seasoned him for his current leadership role at Gavrilov and Co.

Rudy has found his bliss in teaching clients how to leverage their Best Business Practices with today’s Internet and digital technology. Clients can then streamline business operations and discover a positive impact on the bottom line, thanks to his financial insight.

Now, after nearly a decade of acting as managing partner of Gavrilov & Company, he appreciates his strong background. It paved the way for him to design a trust-worthy business where he could make customer service his first priority.

When he is not working, Rudy enjoys his role as grill-master, preparing BBQ for friends. An authentic New Yorker at heart, you might also find him shooting hoops on the community basketball court.

Meet Diana Gavrilov:

Diana graduated with both her B.B.A. and M.B.A. in Public Accounting from Pace University, Lubin School of Business, New York City, NY. She soon enriched her resume with corporate positions at such prestigious firms as Lighthouse Partners, Deutsche Bank and Ernst and Young. She sharpened her skills in management and communication as well as tax accounting.

Her experience with the big 4 accounting firms made her believe that the language of business could be simplified. Augmenting her 10 years of public accounting experience, Diana has honed strong skills in business development and social media. Thus, Diana became the partner who handles marketing and implementation of growth opportunities for Gavrilov and Co.

With her C.P.A. background, she found her niche working with securities analysis. Her insightful security analysis and crystal clear advice has implemented investment solutions for hedge fund investors, stockholders, and security stakeholders.

A New York Business Built on a Pact Between Partners:

The Gavrilovs established their accounting business on the concept that they would not ever charge people exorbitant fees, just because they knew all the technical jargon of accounting. Immediately, they liked the warmth generated by developing relationships. Friends became clients at first. They stayed, but soon the process expanded and reversed: Clients became friends.

As a couple, when Rudy and Diane Gavrilov first opened Gavrilov and Company, they discovered the fun of sharing their expertise with clients. Then the bonus came as they saw their clients’ success as a result. Rudy states often, “We decided from the very beginning, over a decade ago, to foster a culture of customer service and rapport.”

Together, both of the Gavrilovs share, “Over twenty years (and three children) later, and we have never stopped having that kind of joy. We have a genuine sense of satisfaction when we see our personal and our business clients continue to improve their lives. We have also never stopped our focused support of heroic customer service. On a daily basis, our relationship with each client exemplifies three values: productivity, collaboration and innovation.”
