HORSHAM, PA, August 1, 2016 —Kreischer Miller, a leading independent accounting, tax, and business advisory firm serving the Greater Philadelphia area since 1975, today announced the opening of a new office in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in the heart of the Lehigh Valley region. This marks Kreischer Miller’s first office expansion in its 41-year history. The firm celebrated the occasion with a grand opening reception last Wednesday, July 27 at Grille 3501 in Allentown.

“We are excited to open a new office in the Lehigh Valley. Having another location in close proximity to our growing client base in the region demonstrates our commitment to outstanding client service and being available when and where our clients need us. It will also enable us to capitalize on new opportunities,” said Stephen W. Christian, managing director of Kreischer Miller. “The expansion is an important step in our firm’s continued organic growth.”

Kreischer Miller directors Todd E. Crouthamel and Brian J. Sharkey will lead the Lehigh Valley office. “Kreischer Miller has a number of long-standing client relationships in the Lehigh Valley. We are delighted to now have a physical presence in the region,” Crouthamel said. “And since several of our team members reside in the area, we look forward to furthering our involvement in the community.”

“At Kreischer Miller, our focus is on providing excellent guidance and advice to our clients to help them navigate their futures. We have the breadth and depth of services often associated with larger, national firms while offering a high-touch approach generally found with smaller firms,” added Sharkey. “Our new location will allow us to bring that same level of expertise and entrepreneurial spirit to privately-held companies in the Lehigh Valley.”

James Santo, Controller at Keystone Food Products in Easton, Pennsylvania said, "We were excited to learn about Kreischer Miller's new Lehigh Valley office. They have always been a key advisor to us and have recently helped us determine the best tax structure for our company in order to minimize current and future taxes for our business and our shareholders."

In addition to its core accounting, tax, and business advisory services, Kreischer Miller offers a number of other services such as human capital and IT services to privately-held and family-owned companies. “Over the past several years I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kreischer Miller’s Human Capital Resources practice for our retained executive search needs. Their team has done a wonderful job of understanding the mission and culture of our organization in assisting us with leadership positions, matching candidates with our specific needs,” said Lisa Fichera, Chief Operating Officer of Allentown-based Phoebe Ministries. “Kreischer Miller also provides valuable support to Phoebe Ministries in completing salary and benefits studies for us.”

Kreischer Miller’s Lehigh Valley office is located at 4905 West Tilghman Street, Suite 230, Allentown, PA 18104.
