History
Reffue, Pas, Jacobson, Roth & Koster LLP is one of the oldest accounting firms in the area. The firm was founded by Merlin Meythaler in 1949, located in the Goetz Theatre building just off the square. In 1964 the firm relocated to 1005 16th Avenue, and with continued growth moved to its current location at 901 16th Avenue in 1980.
Over the years, the firm changed its name as partners changed, from it’s beginning as Merlin Meythaler CPA it then became Meythaler & Caton. In 1973 the firm became Ableman, Cerbins, Smith and Company and has since evolved into the firm known today as Reffue, Pas, Jacobson, Roth & Koster, LLP.
