What’s New for 2019
        

1. Record Sales: For the year ended August 31, 2018, the firm completed its thirty-third year in business with record revenues. Thanks to referrals and clients’ business expansions, we have enjoyed another successful year.
2. Recent Personnel Additions to Peters & Associates, CPAs, P.C.: Our Syracuse accounting staff grew with the addition of an accountant, Elizabeth Stapleton.  Elizabeth has joined as a staff accountant.  She recently graduated from Oswego College and was employed as an intern by P&A since December, 2017.  Our Utica accounting staff grew with the addition of four accountants: Daniel Robertello, CPA, David Harrington, CPA, Chris Pawlikowski, CPA, and Kim Denslow. Daniel Robertello, David Harrington, and Kim Denslow made up the firm Robertello and Harrington, CPAs, P.C. before they joined P&A December 1, 2018.   Our recent growth has allowed us to increase our staff size (now 35) and expand our expertise, as well as to purchase new equipment and software to provide clients with superior service.

7. Peer Review: In 2016, Peters & Associates, CPAs, P.C. successfully completed its ninth peer review. Each CPA firm that is a member of the AICPA must participate in a peer review every three years. The AICPA’s Peer Review Program was created to provide assurance of quality in the accounting industry. Peters & Associates, CPAs, P.C.’s most recent review was completed for the years 2013 through 2016. The reviewer indicated that we complied with the professional standards set forth by the AICPA. Obtaining a ninth consecutive pass report on our Quality Control Performance serves to validate that our efforts over the past 33 years have been successful.
