About Us
Meet Richard B. Mood, CPA, MST, CGMA
A boutique CPA practice built on trust, longevity, and plain-language advice
Richard Mood CPA serves Worcester and the surrounding Central Massachusetts communities with a simple goal: make finances feel manageable, not overwhelming. Richard brings more than 35 years of experience and a Master’s in Taxation, which means your questions are met with deep knowledge and practical next steps. Clients count on him for steady guidance through everyday decisions and high-stakes moments alike.
This firm is intentionally small so the relationship stays personal. Many clients stay for years—and often decades—because they know who is handling their work and they know they can reach him. Richard takes pride in becoming a reliable part of a client’s “back office,” helping them stay organized, confident, and prepared for what’s next. It’s professional support with a human feel.
Our approach
Clear guidance, proactive planning, and direct access to the CPA
You shouldn’t have to decode financial jargon to make good decisions. Richard’s approach is calm, straightforward, and built around what matters most to you: saving time, avoiding surprises, and keeping more of what you earn. You’ll always know where you stand and what the next step is.
Direct, one-on-one service
You work with Richard—not handed off to a rotating team. That continuity means your goals, history, and preferences are remembered and reflected in the work.
Year-round perspective
Taxes aren’t just a springtime event, and bookkeeping isn’t just data entry. We look ahead, spot issues early, and help you make choices that support long-term stability.
Support when it matters most
If something urgent comes up, you can reach Richard directly, including after-hours when needed. And if the IRS contacts you, you have a CPA who can represent you and guide the response with confidence.

Individuals and families
If you want personal income tax preparation that feels thorough and calm—not rushed or confusing—you’ll appreciate our approach.

The goal is simple: less stress, more confidence, and a clear plan.
Clients who want experienced representation
Notices, audits, and IRS questions can feel intimidating, even when you’ve done everything right. Richard is a licensed CPA who can represent clients before the IRS and in U.S. Tax Court, which means you don’t have to navigate the process alone. We help you respond correctly, meet deadlines, and keep the situation under control. If you’ve been looking for personalized accounting support with serious credentials behind it, this is it.
