Meet the West Grove Resident Leading RKL’s New Office in Exton

By

Barry Pelagatti

Leading RKL’s new Exton office was a natural fit for West Grove resident and Saint Joseph’s University alum Barry Pelagatti. For more than two decades, Pelagatti has built a strong reputation as a trusted advisor serving the assurance needs of Greater Philadelphia institutions.

Pelagatti oversees the general operations of RKL’s Exton office and leads the effort to expand the firm’s visibility and deepen business and community connections throughout southeastern Pennsylvania. In addition to his office management role, Pelagatti is also a partner in RKL’s Audit Services Group and leads the firm’s Financial Services Industry Group.

“What’s kept me inspired throughout my career is forging new relationships with our clients and neighbors in the area I’m proud to call home,” said Pelagatti. “I look forward to channeling the enthusiasm around the new opportunities that RKL’s continued growth and innovation affords us all.”

Initially interested in pursuing a career in animation, Pelagatti took a different path and studied accounting at SJU. It may seem like a big leap from animation to accounting, but to hear Pelagatti tell it, there’s more in common between these two disciplines than one might think.

“Both interests blend technical precision with creativity to design an engaging experience for the audience,” he said. “Likewise, throughout my career in public accounting, I’ve always looked beyond the number-crunching to find unique ways I can create a positive environment for my colleagues and surpass the expectations of my clients.”

Adding Pelagatti’s industry expertise and regional connections to the team in July 2017 positioned RKL to not only grow its client base in the financial services realm, but also to forge connections across other industries in the Philadelphia area.

Stemming from its highly regarded credit union practice, RKL’s broadened focus on the financial services industry delivers a full spectrum of services to banks, credit unions, and other institutions, ranging from traditional assurance and compliance requirements to cutting-edge capabilities like cybersecurity and risk management.

From Pelagatti’s deep industry expertise and robust regional network to his affinity for relationship building, he is helping to design the future of RKL and imagine new horizons for the firm.
