Tuscaloosa, Alabama – Bryan R. Chandler, leading partner of JamisonMoneyFarmer in Tuscaloosa, Ala., is the new chair of the board of CPAmerica International. He succeeds 2013 chair, David J. Nissen, leading partner of Illinois-based Mueller & Co., LLP.  CPAmerica International is a member-driven association of large independent CPA firms.

“I feel privileged to be chairing the board of CPAmerica International in 2014. In today’s highly competitive and fluid marketplace it is important for accounting firms to have the right connections both nationally and internationally. Our firm has found all of that and more through our membership in CPAmerica,” said Bryan Chandler, chairman of the board. “When I came on the board in 2011 we began developing a new strategic plan that contained innovative initiatives such as the Visitation Improvement Program. One of the real values of CPAmerica is the synergy gained by member firms in learning from each other in order to do what would be much harder separately.”

Charles F. Helme III, leading partner of Thompson, Greenspon & Co., PC in Fairfax, Va. has been elected to the vice chair/chair-elect position.

“Last year proved to be a great year and I’m looking forward to what this board will bring to the membership in 2014,” said Alan Deichler, CPAmerica president. “As a member-driven association, the board represents the membership within CPAmerica.”

Among the nine elected board members, returning board members include, Leslie C. Daane of Barnard, Vogler & Co.; Joseph V. Pease of Pease & Associates, Inc.; S. Scott Voynich of Robinson, Grimes & Company, P.C. and Michelle L. Siner of VonLehman & Company.

The two newly-elected board members include Joseph Ciccarello of Gray, Gray & Gray, LLP and J. Brad Steward of Pulakos CPAs, PC.

CPAmerica is a unique blend of active members, headquarters staff and expert technical support.
