What RVG Partners does

RVG Partners, LLC was an Oak Brook, Illinois-based public accounting firm founded in 1999 that delivered professional accounting, audit, tax, and consulting services to individuals and business clients across multiple industries in the Chicago suburban market. Its service portfolio spanned core accounting, audits/reviews/compilations, business succession planning, financial forecasts & projections, and tax & consulting — structured as a horizontal, segment-agnostic practice serving both individual and SMB/mid-market business clients under a personalized service model led by Managing Member Steve Remy.

The firm operated a traditional professional services delivery model, generating revenue through fee-based engagements scoped per service rather than disclosed or standardized pricing, and reaching clients via direct in-person delivery from a single Oak Brook office. Technology use was not proprietary and no AI/ML or differentiated platform capabilities are documented; the practice relied on conventional accounting workflows and (post-merger) standard third-party software (QuickBooks, Avalara, Bill.com, BizNet, Nexonia). The firm maintained no disclosed funding events, no institutional or PE/VC ownership, and no subsidiaries.

Effective June 1, 2023, RVG Partners merged into Porte Brown LLC, a larger full-service Chicago-area accounting and consulting firm headquartered in Elk Grove Village. RVG professionals continued servicing clients from the Oak Brook location under the Porte Brown name, with Koltin Consulting Group's Allan D. Koltin advising on the transaction. The combination was positioned by both firms as a response to rising industry complexity and as a means to broaden service offerings for clients.
