SALINA — Piaker & Lyons PC, a Binghamton–based accounting firm, on Nov. 15 formally opened its new Syracuse–area location at 100 Elwood Davis Road in Salina.
The firm started operating in the 2,900-square-foot space early this year. It had previously been in a 2,300-square-foot space at 572 S. Salina St. in Syracuse.
The new office offers “easy access right off [Interstate] 81, close to [Interstate 690] and in a professional-development building,” says Janeen Sutryk, executive VP and partner in Piaker & Lyons, who spends time in both the Salina and Binghamton offices.
The firm started searching for a new location during the spring of 2016.
DeWitt–based Oliva Real Estate Company assisted Piaker & Lyons in finding its new office on Elwood Davis Road.
“We looked at multiple locations and we absolutely just loved this spot,” says Sutryk.
Piaker & Lyons leases the space from New York City–based Upstate Portfolio, LLC.
“The build-out was done in accordance with the lease agreement that we have, which is a five-year lease,” says Sutryk.
Piaker & Lyons employs six people in its Salina office, with five of them being accountants. The firm employs a total of 50 people, including about 40 accountants. It has 10 partners, Sutryk notes.
Piaker & Lyons has operated in the Syracuse market since the late 1950s, according to Sutryk. The firm launched in 1955.
Besides Salina and the main office at 92 Hawley St. in Binghamton, Piaker & Lyons also has an office in Norwich.
John May will be the firm’s managing partner as of Jan. 1 following the upcoming retirement of the current managing partner, James Lewis, according to Sutryk.
Piaker & Lyons offers tax, accounting, auditing, and financial-advisory services to industries that include distributors, wholesalers, manufacturers, contractors, attorneys, physicians, insurance agencies, and governments, according to its website.
The firm also services school districts, nonprofit organizations, real-estate firms, cooperatives, and automobile dealerships.
