Rolondo Lopez

Strategic Tax Advisor | Integrated Wealth Architecture

A Tampa Bay resident since 2003, Rolando earned both his Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Master’s in Accounting from the University of Tampa’s Sykes College of Business, building a strong technical foundation that now supports high-net-worth families and business owners throughout the region.

As a licensed CPA in the State of Florida, Rolando began his career with Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C., a nationally recognized public accounting firm, where he audited both private and publicly traded companies across a wide range of industries. He later joined Jabil Circuit, Inc., a Fortune 500 multinational manufacturer, traveling internationally to optimize financial controls and operational processes across global manufacturing facilities.

These experiences shaped Rolando’s disciplined, systems-oriented approach to accounting, tax planning, and operational efficiency. a perspective that aligns seamlessly with Bay Harbor Private Wealth Group’s philosophy of coordinated wealth strategy.

Collaborating with Bay Harbor, Rolando plays a critical role in integrating tax strategy into comprehensive financial planning for high-net-worth families and business owners navigating liquidity events, retirement transitions, and generational wealth transfer. His work supports tax-efficient retirement strategies, liquidity event tax modeling, business exit planning, multi-entity structuring, estate planning coordination, and ongoing proactive tax mitigation designed to preserve and compound wealth over time.

Rolando is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA). He also serves as Board President of the InterCultural Advocacy Institute, a nonprofit organization providing social services to immigrant families in Pinellas County.

Outside of his professional work, Rolando enjoys traveling, real estate investing, and spending time with family.
