Sharing Our Experience at EO26

We have not one, but two opportunities to see Michael Zermeño, CPA on the stage. Michael brings extensive accounting and auditing experience to RP&B’s work with employee-owned companies and regularly shares that knowledge with the ESOP community.

During Employee Owned 2026, Michael is presenting two educational sessions focused on important accounting considerations for ESOP companies:

The Fundamentals of Leveraged ESOP Accounting

Monday, November 2
1:40pm – 2:40pm

Advanced Accounting and Financial Reporting Considerations for ESOP-Owned Companies

Wednesday, November 4
9:10am – 10:10am

Every ESOP is different. So is the journey behind it.
