Rhonda L. Gates
​
Executive Trustee, ARRK Management Business Trust, Founder of ARRK Mangement Accounting Firm, and ARRK Academy
Welcome to my world of numbers! I am delighted to share a bit about myself with you. With over 30 years of experience as both an entrepreneur and accountant, I have had the privilege of working across a broad spectrum of industries. My professional journey has taken me through small businesses, large corporations, and non-profit organizations alike. After graduating from Long Beach where I earned in BS in Accounting, I began my professional journey in the banking sector as a teller for Security Bank and Bank of America, soon after I took a bookkeeping position at Lloyds of London and worked in the Bank in California's trust department. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with a wide range of businesses, including those in the insurance, airline, medical, trucking, manufacturing, educational, and even hospitality sectors such as, restaurants and flower shops.
In 2022, I proudly established ARRK Management, an innovative accounting firm that specializes in Advanced Complex Trust Accounting Systems. We have quickly gained a reputation for delivering reliable and comprehensive accounting services tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients. We possess a robust foundation built on expertise and a deep understanding of the intricacies involved in trust accounting. This endeavor not only realizes my professional aspirations but also fulfills my unwavering commitment to educating Executive Trustees on the critical aspects of financial management as fiduciaries.
