Our story
1989
After beginning his accounting career in 1980, Keith Rood opened his first firm, Keith C. Rood, CPA, in 1989.
2011-2012
The firm grew fast; in 2012, Keith’s son Brandon followed in his father’s footsteps. At the same time, future partner, Manny Dinis, began his career.
2017
In 2017, father and son entered into a partnership, and Rood & Associates, LLP opened its doors to provide advanced tax, audit, and business advisory services.
2021-2022
In 2021, Manny Dinis was happily welcomed into the partnership, and in 2022, we merged with Yoder & Company. Our growth has allowed Keith to take a step back after a successful 40-year career as we begin a new chapter as Rood & Dinis.
