Rina Accountancy Corp
HistoryRINA's practice was founded in 1946 by Leo Helzel, an Oakland attorney and CPA, in a small office near 14th and Broadway. To augment his income from Leo B. Helzel & Company, he taught intermediate accounting at Golden Gate College. He hired Bob Nolt who was his best student at the time, and soon after, hired Paul Ida. Both Bob and Paul became attorneys by attending law school at night. Henry Rooney and Jack Ahern joined the firm in the early 1950's. In 1957, Leo decided he wanted to concentrate on law full time and left the firm as a partner, but remained as a client. He still maintains a relationship with RINA today. Bob Nolt and Paul Ida teamed up with Henry Rooney and Jack Ahern to become Rooney, Ida, Nolt and Ahern. In 2001, the name was shortened to RINA accountancy corporation.SpecialtiesRINA is a regional full service accounting, tax and consulting firm experienced in all phases of public accounting.
