Business Details

Your Trusted Partner for Accounting & Tax Services in Cranston

Founded over four decades ago, Buco & Associates has established itself as a trusted provider of comprehensive accounting and financial services. Our journey began in 1970 when Robert Buco, a certified public accountant, started his career with a national accounting firm before partnering with Arthur J. Commette to form Commette and Buco CPAs. Following Mr. Commette's passing in 1976, Robert expanded the practice, eventually rebranding to Robert Buco and Associates. In 1998, Jason Buco joined his father, bringing fresh expertise and founding Buco & Associates, LLC in 2000. Together, our firms have maintained a steadfast commitment to personalized service, attention to detail, and financial excellence.

Our team of five professionals combines deep technical knowledge with a client-first approach, offering tailored solutions for businesses and individuals.
