SYRACUSE — An accounting firm based in the Capital Region has joined FustCharles, a Syracuse–based accounting, tax, and advisory firm.
Stephen J Flood, CPA, PLLC a Latham–based accounting and tax practice, joined the firm as of Jan. 1, per the FustCharles announcement. The expansion “strengthens” FustCharles’ presence across upstate New York and extends the firm’s footprint into the Capital Region, per the Jan. 6 announcement.
The Stephen J Flood firm, which has four employees, will take the FustCharles name, the local firm tells CNYBJ in an email.
As part of this integration, Stephen Flood and his team will continue serving clients from its Latham location, ensuring uninterrupted service and familiar points of contact. Clients will also gain access to FustCharles’ “expanded resources, specialized service teams, and broader regional capabilities,” the Syracuse firm noted.
“We are excited to welcome Stephen Flood and his entire team to FustCharles,” Tom Giufre, tax partner at FustCharles, said in the announcement. “Their long-standing reputation, strong client relationships, and commitment to high-quality service align seamlessly with our Firm’s values and strategic direction. Expanding into the Capital Region represents a significant milestone for us — one that strengthens our ability to attract top talent, deepen our expertise, and continue building a team that delivers exceptional value to our clients.”
Founded more than 40 years ago, FustCharles provides audit, tax, and advisory services for commercial, health care, and nonprofit organizations. FustCharles now operates from offices in Syracuse, Rochester, and the Albany area.
