With the same grit and determination required during tax season, Justin Horr, Staff Accountant at Rodman & Rodman CPAs, a full service tax and accounting firm catering to small and medium-sized companies throughout the greater Boston area, completed the World’s Toughest Mudder® 24-hour race held November 14-15th at Lake Las Vegas, Nevada.

Placing 219 overall among approximately 1280 participants, Horr did well in the Male Division 20-24 year-old, placing 9th and completing 10 laps, 50 miles total in 24 hours, 28 minutes and 4 seconds. He was among 28 male and female contestants from Massachusetts.

Horr, a resident of South Easton, MA and native of Granby, CT, competed alongside his aunt, Nicole Perry of Simsbury, CT, who finished 4th in her age group.

World’s Toughest Mudder is an extreme 24-hour obstacle course challenge where athletes are tested to their physical and mental limits competing for Worlds Toughest Mudder title and prizes, while also fundraising for a charity or cause.

“This race, at this magnitude, required a lot of preparation. You have to be ready to tackle different challenges. The course changes in the middle of the night, and you have to adapt,” explained Horr. “It’s almost as stressful as tax season – which is a marathon, not a sprint – where you have to be mentally prepared.”

Horr will be participating in Tough Mudder New England and Spartan Sprint Race in 2016.

Rodman & Rodman CPAs Take Part in American Biogas Council’s DC Fly-In

Kathy Parker, CPA, MST, Partner and Elysha Sturm, Staff Accountant at Rodman & Rodman CPAs represented Massachusetts at American Biogas Council’s (ABC) DC Fly-In held July 20-23, 2015 in Washington D.C. Rodman CPAs is a full service tax and accounting firm specializing in green energy and clean technology.

Rodman CPAs are members of ABC, which promotes the Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas Industry. The Rodman team was among 24 ABC members from 11 states to attend meetings in the House and Senate on Capitol Hill, and a special Biogas Stakeholder Forum hosted by the USDA and EPA.

According to Parker, “One of the ABC’s primary goals is to ensure that renewable energy receives the same favorable treatment under federal and state laws as does fossil energy, and that all forms of renewable energy are treated equally on a comparative basis.”

Parker and Sturm had an opportunity to provide feedback on the next steps that USDA, EPA and DOE plan to take to support biogas project deployment. The Rodman team met with key staff of the offices of Senator Jerry Moran, Senator Maria Cantwell, Senator Charles Schumer, Senator Ed Markey, Congressman Mike Thompson and Jim Lyons, Tax Counsel -Senate Finance Committee Majority Staff and urged their support for Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), which provides a demand and a marketplace for biogas.

The Rodman team also urged support of the extension of renewable electricity tax credits, as the Production Tax Credit (PTC) and the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) are essential in helping to drive investment in renewable energy. Additionally, they urged support of continued discretionary funding for Farm Bill programs (including include REAP, the Renewable Energy for America Program) and to maintain the mandatory funding levels passed in the Farm Bill.

“There was a Bill on the table that was presented to congress by the finance committee which would extend ITC/PTC for two years.  It was exciting to hear about it first hand, as typically extenders do not happen until the end of the year,” noted Parker. “Unfortunately, ITC/PTC was not extended at this time.”

Parker continued, “The purpose of the DC Fly-In was to continue the ongoing awareness of the need for anaerobic digester and the importance they bring to the renewable sector. It is imperative for these projects to continue to receive tax credits. Our goal at the DC Fly-In was to work with congress on tax extenders and other funding opportunities for the projects.”

About the ABC

The ABC’s mission is to create jobs, environmental sustainability, and energy independence by growing the U.S. biogas industry. The ABC represents over 200 organizations across the renewable energy, agriculture, waste and wastewater management, and transportation industries, including facility owners/operators, manufactures of tanks, engines, and other equipment, engineering organizations and institutions, utilities, financiers and lenders, and local and regional governments.

Summer campers are enjoying the great outdoors at Camp Clark in Plymouth, MA thanks in part to the efforts of Rodman & Rodman P.C., a full service tax and accounting firm based in Newton, MA.

“The Rodman team volunteered more than 100 hours preparing Camp Clark for our busy summer camp, which runs from 7 am to 6 pm daily. They took on projects that would have taken us longer than two weeks to complete,” said Derek Paiva, Executive Director of Old Colony YMCA. “The Y was founded on volunteerism and the Rodman team sets a great example. We truly appreciate their hard work which has contributed to the overall success of our camp.”

“Camp Clark has a strong tradition of helping to build brighter futures by encouraging campers to discover their potential,” said Steve Rodman, president of Rodman & Rodman, P.C. “We are delighted to continually support this very special organization.”
