Salmin, Celona, Wehrle & Flaherty, LLP is a full service professional Firm of Certified Public Accountants providing audit, accounting, tax and advisory services. We are currently ranked the 8th Largest CPA Firm in the Rochester Area by the Rochester Business Journal's CPA Firm Listing (September 2011).

The Firm was founded in 1998 as a result of the merger of Salmin & Celona CPA's with Wehrle & Wehrle CPA's. The Firm has enjoyed consistent growth since its inception. We believe our success is due in large part to our adherence to our Firm's mission statement and Firm values (which are presented in the "welcome screen" of this website).

The Firm is a member firm of Polaris International, an international association of independent accounting firms, with member firms located throughout the world.

Business growth does not always equal success. That comes with planning - planning that develops information systems, evaluates forecasts, and improves profitability and organizational responsiveness. Our management advisory services help you do just that.

As your CPA, we get to know your organization, its operations and finances, your personnel, your tax situations, and your data processing and management information system needs. Our knowledge of your industry, and our broad range of business skills, ensure that we will best meet the needs of your organization.

We believe that it is not enough just to stress quality within our Firm; we also need to test that quality and continually strive for improvement. That is why we are members of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants (NYSSCPA). One of the requirements of membership in the AICPA and NYSSCPA is a review, every three years, of our quality control policies. The review is conducted by our peers, specially trained independent CPA's.

We are extremely pleased that Salmin, Celona, Wehrle & Flaherty, LLP has always completed its Peer Reviews with an unmodified report (the highest rating attainable). The issuance of an unmodified opinion serves as recognition that the Firm has achieved a level of quality control that reflects the highest standards within the profession today.

Each of the founding partners worked in a Big 4 international firm prior to starting their own CPA practices. The Firm takes great pride in providing its clients with the knowledge, experience and technical capabilities of a Big 4 Firm but with increased attention to service at competitive prices.
