Encore’s Evening of Excellence & Open House 2026
Dear Clients, Colleagues and Friends,
What an evening! We are still smiling from Thursday night.
Our Evening of Excellence was everything we hoped it would be—a beautiful celebration of 15 years of Encore, the grand opening of our new La Jolla home, and most importantly, the people and relationships who helped us get here.
For those who joined us, thank you for making the evening so special. And for those who couldn’t be there, we missed you and wanted to share a little glimpse of the celebration with you.
There was plenty of laughter, wonderful conversations, new introductions and old friends reconnecting. And, of course, we celebrated properly—with some of my personal favorites: champagne, caviar, great wines and incredible food. I think the lobster roll topped with caviar may have officially won the evening!
But as beautiful as everything was, the best part for me was looking around the room and seeing so many clients, colleagues, friends and members of our team together. Some relationships go back more than 20 years; others are just beginning. That is what made the evening truly meaningful.
Maybe we’re not your typical accountants—we actually like our clients, return calls and emails, and apparently even want to hang out with you during tax season! 🙂
But truly, those relationships are what Encore has always been about.
Here are a few of our favorite moments from the celebration:
And to those of you who arrived with flowers, wine, Champagne and thoughtful gifts—thank you. If you attended, you also went home with our slightly unusual Encore gift—hand wash!
There was a reason behind it. For 15 years, Encore has been built by people: the hands that do the work, the clients who place their trust in us, and the relationships that have grown alongside us.
So when you see “In Good Hands” on the bottle, we hope it gives you a little smile—and reminds you that we are always here when you need us.
Thank you for your trust, your friendship, your referrals and your support over the years.
Many cheers to you all!
