RUMA Certified Public Accountants (A member of Kreston International)

RUMA Certified Public Accountants is a professional service firm providing solutions to clients in their distinct sectors in Rwanda and the region. RUMA CPA was registered in Rwanda on 31 October 1996 and has grown rapidly and independently to become a leading indigenous Consultancy and Accounting firm in Rwanda.

During the 1990s when the accounting profession was taking shape in Uganda and there was a steady recovery of the economy, the professional regulation and economic recovery created the demand for professional solutions to complex business challenges. In August 1993, CPA Peter Rutaremara a Rwandan refugee living in Kampala Uganda, and CPA Mathias Tumwesigye a Ugandan national established an accounting firm under the name RUMA Certified Public Accountants. The acronym “RUMA” stands for initials of the founders’ names RU (Rutaremara) and MA (Mathias). After the 1994 Rwanda Genocide, CPA Peter Rutaremara returned to his home country and registered RUMA CPA on 31 October 1996 under Rwanda jurisdiction. Though independent firms, the two firms, RUMA CPA in Rwanda and RUMA & Associates in Uganda have maintained their relationships in terms of sharing knowledge and staff as and when the need arises.
