After receiving his Bachelor of Science in accounting from the University of South Florida, Batz joined Kirkland, Russ, Murphy & Tapp, P.A. (KRMT) in 1998, which later merged into CBIZ.

“Having worked together for over 20 years, I am confident that Bob’s forward-thinking approach, passion for our people, serving the local community, and dedication to client satisfaction make him a natural fit for this position during a time of rapid change in our profession,” said Tapp. “Bob is representative of the culture of longevity at CBIZ MHM’s Tampa Bay office, and I am excited to see how it continues to grow under his leadership.”
