McLEAN, Va., April 15, 2026 — R² Advisors announced today that Rose Araghchy, CPA, Founder, President and CEO of R² Advisors, has been named to Forbes’ 2026 America’s Best-in-State CPAs list.
I’m deeply honored by this recognition, but I see it less as a conclusion than as a responsibility. The best financial work begins with listening closely, asking the questions that make the situation clearer and being honest about what the evidence does not yet support. When that work helps an organization become stronger, the benefit reaches far beyond the numbers to the people and communities depending on it.
