James W. Drislane, CPA, is new managing partner at Teal, Becker & Chiaramonte.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The shareholders of the regional accounting
\nfirm Teal, Becker & Chiaramonte, CPAs,PC,
\nelected James W. Drislane, CPA as the new
\nmanaging partner.<\/p>\n

TBC, located in Albany, serves a large client
\nbase throughout Saratoga County and the
\nCapital Region.<\/p>\n

“I am delighted to have been elected as
\nTBC’s managing partner,” Drislane said. “TBC
\nhas always focused on exceptional relationships
\nwith its clients and employees and I plan
\nto continue that effort. I am honored to lead
\nthe firm and look forward to the challenge this
\nrole will bring.” <\/p>\n

Drislane joined the firm in 1983, when there were less than 25 associates, and he has been an integral part of the firm’s growth to more than 80 employees, all of whom work out of one office in Albany.<\/p>\n

A graduate of Siena College and a lifetime resident of the Capital Region, Drislane is a member of both the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the New York State Society of CPAs. Over the years, he has developed a diverse client portfolio while serving as an appointed member of the firm’s executive committee.<\/p>\n

Drislane’s client engagements consist largely on commercial entities, such as construction contractors, professional practices and automobile dealerships as well as not-for-profit organizations including colleges and universities.<\/p>\n

Prior to Drislane’s election, the firm’s immediate past managing partner was Robert H. Kind, CPA and before that, John A. Chiaramonte, CPA, both of whom remain active in the business.<\/p>\n

“Client service is Jim’s top priority. He is always looking out for the client’s best interest and he instills this upon staff of all levels, making him an excellent candidate to lead the firm into the future,” Kind said. “His strategy includes concentrating on the growth of the accounting and auditing side of the business, while continuing to further develop the valuation, forensic accounting and pension services.” Drislane will develop and monitor all aspects of the firm’s strategic plan, marketing plan, business development plan and share in the executive committee responsibilities.<\/p>\n

In the last year, TBC acquired another local Albany accounting firm and made new hires to reinforce its forensic accounting and litigation services practice.<\/p>\n

“Staff development is a key ingredient to our firm’s success,” Drislane said.<\/p>\n

“We focus on providing mentorship opportunities that encourage professional and personal development. The demands of our business can be daunting, so we do everything possible to allow our associates to keep a positive work-life balance,” he stated.<\/p>\n

TBC was founded in 1971 and serves thousands of clients in the areas of accounting, auditing, tax and advisory services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
