Our History - 50 years

1. In 1976, the original firm was established under the name Cabrera Moskona & Associates. The firm took its name from its founding partners, Meir Moskona and Francisco Cabrera, both former members of one of the Big Four accounting firms and highly accomplished professionals.
2. In 1977, Gladys Colmenares and Beniamino Carpentieri (currently Partners at PKF Venezuela) joined the firm's professional staff as entry-level audit professionals.
3. From its founding until 1990, the firm consolidated its position in the Venezuelan professional services market, specializing in auditing, accounting, tax planning, management consulting, and other business support services.
4. In 1991, due to this growing consolidation, the firm's partners decided to join the international network PKF International, a key milestone in its growth and quality standards, strengthening its client base and expanding its reach. Also in that year, two of the founding partners left the firm, selling their shares to Gladys Colmenares and Beniamino Carpentieri, who then became partners. At the same time, the firm's name was changed to Cabrera Perez & Associates.
5. In 1993, the so-called "financial crisis" erupted in Venezuela. This was, in reality, the immediate prelude to the major banking crisis that erupted in 1994, although the problems had been accumulating for years. From then until 1999, we had great difficulty generating sufficient income, so we found it necessary to restructure our organization to address the situation, and the firm's name was changed to PKF Cabrera Colmenares & Associates.
6. As a result of rapid expansion, the Firm's headquarters were moved to the Torre Sudamérica building in El Rosal. In 2002, Mr. Tomás Carpentieri (currently a Partner) joined the professional staff, and the Firm established its own outsourcing firm, PKF Business Planning, to develop high-quality services, strengthening the client portfolio and the Firm's reach.
7. In 2019, Mr. Tomás Carpentieri was promoted to Partner to reaffirm our commitment to professional quality and the trust of our clients, while adapting to regulatory and technological changes. Therefore, with the addition of a junior Partner to the organization, the Firm's name was changed to what it is today: PKF Carpentieri Colmenares & Asociados.

8. Currently, the Firm's Partners are: 

• Beniamino Carpentieri, International Liaison Partner.
• Tomás Carpentieri, Managing Partner and Head of the Audit Department 
• Gladys Colmenares, Partner in the Outsourcing Department 
• Beatriz Naranjo, Partner in the Audit and Tax Department
   
                                 
  In 1976, a public accounting firm was founded in Caracas, which would eventually become PKF Carpentieri Colmenares & Asociados. For five decades, we have served public and private companies with audit, consulting, and management advisory services, joining the PKF International network in 1991 to offer global standards with local expertise. In 2026, we celebrated 50 years of service, reaffirming our commitment to professional excellence and the trust of our clients.
