In 1982, Stephen V. Gaudino Sr. graduated from St. John Fisher College with a degree in Accounting and went on to earn his CPA designation. After several years with a local firm, he founded Stephen Gaudino CPA in 1985, serving Rochester’s community from his first office on State Street.

As client needs grew, so did the firm—expanding into financial and investment services. In 1999, Stephen became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, reflecting his commitment to helping clients strategically plan their financial lives.

Today, The Gaudino Group offers an “everything under one roof” experience—integrating tax planning, financial, retirement, estate, and education planning. We continue to uphold the same personal service and fiduciary responsibility in advisory relationships that have guided us from the start.
