When the weather is pleasant, Richard Caturano, CPA, CGMA, likes to ride his Harley-Davidson Road King motorcycle on the 45-minute commute from his home in the blue-collar seaside fishing community of Gloucester, Mass., to his office near the historic Charlestown Bridge in Boston.
Caturano, who will turn 60 on Nov. 18, is a savvy business manager who led the growth of a small firm into prominence in New England and ultimately a merger with McGladrey LLP, where he serves as executive managing partner of the Boston office. He works long hours, handles significant responsibilities with the USCPA, and participates in numerous charitable projects. He’s known to say that he intends to live life to its fullest—to die with no wine left in his cellar. In addition to riding his motorcycle, he likes to cook pizza in his wood-fired pizza oven, play golf at least once a week, and spend as much time as possible with his wife, Barbara, and 2-year-old grandson, Rhys Richard Ryan.
For Caturano, the profession has been a path from modest roots to prosperity. During his one-year term as the 100th chairman of the USCPA board of directors, which began in mid-October, he wants to help strengthen the profession for his colleagues and work to highlight the path to the American Dream for future generations of CPAs. He said it is important to create opportunities for CPAs to grow and advance in careers that serve the public. He is proud to have spent nearly 40 years helping employees of his firm build successful careers, and helping clients achieve success and build good lives for their families and their employees’ families.
“That is a great feeling that so many in our profession get to experience, and it is the fuel that keeps us going,” Caturano said.
As Caturano takes office, CPAs are well-positioned for vital roles of service in the global economy for the foreseeable future. Hiring of college graduates with bachelor’s or master’s degrees in accounting increased 31% to 33,321 in the 2009–2010 academic year (the most recent year for which information is available), according to an USCPA survey. That came close to bringing hiring back to the previous all-time high set in 2006–2007.
A Bureau of Labor Statistics forecast shows that the number of accounting and auditing jobs in the United States is expected to increase by 190,700—a 16% increase—between 2010 and 2020. The BLS predicts that demand for thorough financial documentation will increase in response to recent financial crises and resulting regulatory changes.
