From Vision to Legacy: The Evolution of Balagot & Emperado CPAs Co.

What started as a bold step toward financial excellence in 2012 has evolved into a trusted firm that goes beyond numbers, fostering sustainable growth, long-term relationships, and a holistic approach to success.

Laying the Foundation: A Bold Step Toward

On May 1, 2012, Balagot & Co. took its first step outside Zamboanga, opening a branch in Davao City to bring quality financial services to a wider audience at a more accessible cost. The momentum continued in 2014 with the establishment of a Makati branch, strategically located at UGII Cityland Condominium 8, Sen. Gil Puyat Ave., a move that signified the firm’s commitment to growth in the country’s financial hub.

But expansion was not just about geography. It was about building a solid foundation anchored in trust and excellence. Later that year, the firm strengthened its roots by opening a Kidapawan branch, closer to the hometown of its founder. This milestone was made possible with the collaboration of Cherry Mae Castro-Orella and Rezyl Mae Emperado-Tero, who took on the challenge of launching operations in December 2014, starting with just one client.

In December 2018, Koronadal Branch was opened headed by Von Zerick Casero and Marissa Francisco.

Beyond Numbers: Building Trust and Lasting Partnerships

Renowned for its commitment to more than just financial services, Balagot & Emperado CPA’s Co. quickly became a trusted partner for businesses and individuals alike. The firm’s philosophy has always gone beyond numbers, focusing on building sustainable, long-term relationships and delivering holistic business solutions that drive real success.

As demand continued to rise, the firm took another strategic leap in October 2022 with the launch of its Midsayap branch, led by Rezyl Mae, to better serve clients in nearby municipalities. With an expanding network of satisfied clients, Balagot and Emperado CPA’s Co. set its sights on its next milestone: Malaybalay, Bukidnon, a move that reinforces its vision of growth beyond local markets and into new frontiers of opportunity headed by Rey Cabilan.

A New Era of Growth: Strengthening Roots, Expanding Horizons

In 2024, the firm entered a new era of growth and excellence, embracing its evolution as Balagot & Emperado CPAs Co. This transformation reflects the firm’s steady progress over the years, its expanding expertise, and its unwavering commitment to delivering comprehensive financial solutions. With each milestone, the firm has strengthened its foundation, built lasting partnerships, and extended its reach beyond local markets—all while staying true to its core values.

This year, the firm is focused on further solidifying its presence in new regions while ensuring that its growth remains deeply rooted in long-term relationships and a holistic approach to financial services. Balagot & Emperado CPAs Co. continues to empower businesses, not just by ensuring financial stability, but by fostering sustainable success and meaningful impact in the communities it serves.

With 12 years of excellence, Balagot & Emperado CPAs Co. continues to expand its reach, anchored in trust, expertise, and a vision for the future. It remains dedicated to empowering businesses and individuals, proving that success isn’t just about financial stability but about creating lasting impact and fostering long-term prosperity.
