Lisa Myers has been appointed as the Managing Partner of Boyer & Ritter, replacing Robert J. Murphy following his 15-year tenure as CEO. The move is part of a structured leadership transition, aimed at sustaining the firm's growth, which also involves adopting a distributed leadership framework and retaining Murphy as a Principal on a part-time basis over the next year for continued guidance.
Boyer & Ritter has announced that Lisa Myers has been named Managing Partner, completing a multi-year leadership transition designed to ensure continuity, strengthen client service, and position the firm for future growth.
The transition marks the conclusion of Robert J. Murphy’s 15-year tenure as CEO, during which he led the firm to regional prominence and national recognition. Murphy, who joined Boyer & Ritter in 1980, will continue as a Principal on a part-time basis over the next year, offering continued guidance and support through the change.
“Under Bob’s thoughtful and visionary leadership, Boyer & Ritter has grown into a regional leader, well-positioned for continued success,” said Myers. “I look forward to working closely with our talented team to continue serving our clients with the highest level of dedication and expertise.”
Myers, a firm veteran since 1989 and former COO, is widely respected in the accounting industry. She previously served as president of the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants and was recently named among “America’s Top 200 CPAs” by Forbes.
As part of the broader succession plan, Boyer & Ritter adopted a distributed leadership structure. In addition to Myers' appointment as Managing Partner, Tom Taricani now serves as Chair of the Executive Committee, while Matt Wildasin and Jay Goldman hold the roles of Chief Growth Officers.
Murphy’s tenure emphasized industry specialization, helping the firm build deep expertise in verticals such as construction, nonprofit, government, manufacturing, and dealerships. That legacy of tailored client service remains central to the firm’s mission.
“With a seamless handover and a focus on continuity, we are well-equipped to grow and face future challenges successfully,” said Taricani. “Our dedication to serving our clients with excellence remains at the forefront.”
The firm’s long-standing commitment to understanding its clients’ businesses and delivering specialized solutions has earned widespread recognition. In 2024, Accounting Today named Boyer & Ritter one of the Mid-Atlantic’s top firms for the eighth consecutive year.
Myers’ appointment marks the final milestone in a carefully executed leadership evolution—one that maintains Boyer & Ritter’s momentum and underscores its vision for the future.
