Who We Are
At RLP, CPA LLC, we help staffing companies take control of their financial future. Whether you’re dealing with inaccurate reporting, clunky back-office systems, or feeling stuck with bundled lending services, we’re here to bring clarity, flexibility, and real expertise to your accounting.
Our Story Begins with Experience
Our founder and CEO, Rosa Padilla, is a Certified Public Accountant with over 20 years of experience in corporate accounting—most of it spent in the staffing and recruiting world. Just five years after graduating from New Jersey City University, she became an accounting manager at a publicly traded staffing company, eventually rising to Controller of a $320 million firm before earning her CPA license.
With that depth of industry insight, Rosa launched RLP, CPA LLC to provide high-touch accounting, back-office, and consulting services to staffing companies that need more than just number-crunching—they need a true financial partner.
A Trusted Advisor When It Mattered Most
During the COVID-19 crisis, RLP, CPA played a pivotal role in helping businesses stay afloat. We supported clients through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC), and assisted in obtaining over $13 million in loan forgiveness. Rosa’s commitment to navigating complex compliance and documentation requirements helped many of our clients maintain operational stability during one of the most uncertain times in recent history.
