US Tax Firm, WTAS, expands with new office in Harrisburg
WTAS LLC (formerly Wealth and Tax Advisory Services, Inc.) has announced the expansion of its tax practice to Harrisburg, PA. The Harrisburg location is the fourteenth WTAS office in the country and the seventh office to open or expand in the last eight months.
The Harrisburg office has a full complement of tax professionals with over 130 years of combined experience and will be anchored by Scott Balestrier, Office Managing Director in Harrisburg with over eighteen years of experience in corporate tax. Top advisers in the Harrisburg office also include Chuck Chubb, a leading expert in accounting for income taxes with over thirty years of experience; Directors Ellen Harles and Marla Miller each with over twenty years of experience in public accounting firms and within the industry; and Managers Carol Beatty and Jean Peake who have deep expertise in tax return compliance and income tax accounting.
“With our recent successes in Philadelphia, we felt it was imperative to have direct representation in Harrisburg to better serve the entities in that area. Our move is consistent with our strong commitment to the Central Pennsylvania community and providing unmatched service to our existing clients,” said Scott Balestrier.
“Our expansion to Harrisburg was based on an identified need in the area for tax expertise focused on business entities. Given that our competitors have consistently moved out of markets like Harrisburg in favor of larger locations, we recognized a clear need for high quality tax professionals. We’ve had an excellent response and are actively building the practice in terms of both clients and staff,” shared CEO, Mark Vorstaz.
The new office will focus on assisting business entities in the Central Pennsylvania market with all aspects of taxation including planning, compliance, income tax accounting, and mergers and acquisitions.
