What Kronick Kalada Berdy does

Kronick Kalada Berdy & Co. P.C. is a privately held certified public accounting firm headquartered at 190 Lathrop Street in Kingston, Pennsylvania, serving clients in the greater Wilkes-Barre/Scranton region. The firm operates three integrated service lines: Accounting Services (audit, reviews, compilations, bookkeeping, computerized payroll, and financial statement preparation); Tax Preparation & Planning covering individuals, corporations, partnerships, trusts, estates, and not-for-profit organizations, including IRS representation before federal and state agencies; and Consulting Services spanning business succession planning, estate planning, retirement planning, business valuations, investment review, business entity selection, litigation support, and bankruptcy guidance. Its client base runs from small and large privately held family-owned businesses through SEC-registered companies.

Delivery is supported by computerized tax preparation and research software, a CCH Axcess client portal for secure document exchange, and a firm website offering interactive financial calculators (mortgage, auto loan, retirement, tax, savings, business valuation, investment) plus newsletter content. The firm operates as a professional corporation with 11 named CPAs — including credentialed specialists holding CFE, PFS, FCPA, and CSEP designations — and 40+ total professional and support staff. Shareholder-partners include Donald M. Kronick, Paul Berdy, William R. Lazor, and Deborah A. Eastwood, with additional credentialed partners covering fraud examination, securities registration, and estate planning.

Revenue is generated under a fee-for-service professional services billing model with pricing determined per engagement based on scope, complexity, entity type, and time invested; no standardized tiers are publicly disclosed. Client acquisition is sales-led, combining direct outreach, professional referrals from legal counsel and financial institutions, and a digital presence (website, newsletter, and client portal). The firm is an independent member of the BDO Alliance USA, a nationwide association of independently owned accounting firms, which extends service capability through BDO resources while preserving local autonomy and ownership.
