After close to 30 years of dedication and service, our partner, Sheralynne Merrit, has retired from Rise CPA.

Sheralynne joined, what was then EPR Coquitlam, in 1997 as one of the first managers and became a partner in 2001. Over the years she played an integral role in shaping who we are today and leading the firm through many changes over the years. Through it all, her unwavering commitment to professionalism, integrity, and exceptional client service fostered lasting relationships and earned the trust of clients, colleagues, and the broader community.

We are deeply grateful for Sheralynne’s leadership, mentorship, and many years of dedicated service (and the occasional practical joke!). While she will be greatly missed, we are excited for her as she begins this next chapter and wish her a fulfilling and well-deserved retirement.

Please join us in thanking Sheralynne for her years of outstanding contributions to Rise, and in wishing her all the very best in retirement.
