"I started out as a tax intern with Carbis Walker (CW) and was pleased to accept a full-time position upon graduation.  Deciding to work for CW was an excellent decision!  The Firm has been exceptionally flexible and understanding in helping me determine what I'm interested in, giving me the opportunity to focus on those areas, and directing my own career path, with plenty of room for advancement.  At Carbis Walker, the employees are truly valued and appreciated, and hard work is rewarded.  The people here genuinely enjoy working with one another - and it shows.  From day one, I have been proud to say I am part of the CW Team - a team that works well together, has fun, and learns something new every single day!"

"Carbis Walker has provided opportunities for me to grow as a professional and as a person. Within a couple of months of being hired, I was placed on a couple of challenging engagements. While these engagements had their "moments," they allowed me to excel at what I do best, which is delving into the details. A litigation support engagement afforded me the opportunity to work with local attorneys, and others within the Firm, that I might normally not have the chance to work with. Finally, being promoted to Chair of the Employee Benefit Plan Auditing Services Team has provided me the opportunity to lead an outstanding group of people that impacts every niche of the Firm. Carbis Walker is a great place to work with many opportunities to grow in a variety of ways."

I have worked for the Firm for 12 years, and throughout my career my work schedule has changed to accommodate the demands of my family. CW has consistently supported me with flexible work arrangements - it is truly an amazing place to work. I feel blessed to be a part of the team."

"Carbis Walker is a firm that has the complete package!  I started at Carbis Walker right out of college.  Not sure as to what other firms in the area had to offer, I left CW for another regional firm.  It did not take me long to realize how domineering and unappreciative the other accounting firms can be.  At Carbis Walker, employees are valued, hard work is appreciated, and flexible schedules are understood.  Deciding to come back to CW was the easiest decision I have ever made.  Every person at CW, regardless of the level, is compassionate, supportive, and always willing to help.  It is a tremendous feeling to know that the team members around you want you to succeed as much as you do, both professionally and personally.  I truly appreciate every aspect that Carbis Walker has to offer and am definitely glad to once again be part of the CW Family!!"

Kelly Domenick, CPA
-Senior Tax Manager

"As one of the newest members to the Carbis Walker team coupled with my background of previously working with a small local firm, one of my biggest fears was not being able to adapt to the large firm environment of Carbis Walker. However, the transition process has been effortless, as each individual of the firm has made me feel comfortable and part of the team. Carbis Walker has provided me with the opportunity and resources to grow not only professionally, but also personally, and I am excited to be part of such a great team and organization."

Chuck Laverty
-Business Valuation Consultant

"Carbis Walker is a firm where each employee is valued, no matter what their level. From an accounting firm standpoint, this is an awesome achievement, as I have previously worked for smaller firms where employees were not very important, especially at the lower level.  I have been with Carbis Walker for about ten months and in those ten months, I feel like I have learned so much!  It’s easy to learn here, because everyone is always willing to help.  The environment is very team-oriented and it helps to achieve so much!  Carbis Walker also gives you the flexibility to decide which path is right for you, and everyone encourages you to pursue your own individual goals.  I am so happy to be a part of the Carbis Walker Group and to see the Firm continue to grow."

"Being a team member of Carbis Walker LLP is awesome! I have been with the firm for ten years and have worked in many different areas - all of which have been challenging and gave me the ability to grow professionally, intellectually and interpersonally. I am currently working part-time mainly from my home while taking care of my three young children. The flexibility and support that all team members have given me during this time is unbelievable. Carbis Walker LLP is not only an excellent accounting firm in the professional sense but the owners/partners also focus on the importance of family and balancing the demands of personal life with a career path. Carbis Walker LLP is the place to be!"

"Many firms talk about a balance between family life and work, but Carbis Walker LLP lives this philosophy.  I have been fortunate enough to work a part-time flex schedule while still being provided challenges and opportunities which have allowed me to grow and develop professionally, intellectually, and personally.  Carbis Walker LLP promotes a family environment in which team members go out of their way to help each other.  Additionally, Carbis Walker LLP prides itself in providing excellent client services.  What more could you possibly ask for in an accounting firm?!?!"

Amy Chornenky

“Since I am a native of Northwestern Pennsylvania, I was looking for a reputable local public accounting firm to start a career.  After interviewing at the other local firms, I decided that Carbis Walker was the right fit.  Carbis Walker provides the small firm atmosphere with the growth potential and professional development opportunities of a larger firm.  In the past year I have been involved in numerous engagements and worked with many partners, giving me a broad outlook on public accounting.  Carbis Walker allows you to explore everything public accounting has to offer.  Carbis Walker encourages you to pursue your own interests and career goals while providing the tools to help you along your way.  I am very satisfied with my decision and proud to be a part of the Carbis Walker team.”

Brandon Harlan
-Health Care Supervisor

"Coming out of college I didn't know how I wanted to use my degree. After interviewing with several Corporations and Public accounting firms, I felt that Carbis Walker (CW) was the best choice based on the team atmosphere and family oriented environment that it embraced. Since joining the team, I believe I made a great decision based upon the relationships I have formed and the professional growth I have experienced."

James Raley
-Health Care Supervisor

"I am fortunate to be the Firm’s Coordinator of Manufacturing & Wholesale Distribution Services. I began my career at Carbis Walker LLP on July 5, 1989, as a new graduate from college. The then Human Resource Director told me that they were not interested in hiring a new “associate,” but rather someone who aspired to work hard, make a career of public accounting, and ultimately become a Partner in the Firm. These were not mere words . . . it happened for me. I love the manufacturing environment. The manufacturing process is magical to me. I am in awe of American ingenuity, work ethic, and pride in the products they produce. I cannot work with my hands, but I have the utmost respect for those people who have that ability and aptitude."

Guy Natale
-Partner

"Since joining the CW team earlier this year, I have had the privilege to work side-by-side with a diverse group of individuals. Each person is talented in their own ways and CW has an innate way of nurturing each individual's personal strengths and skills. During my first few weeks of employment, I could clearly see that CW encourages growth in each team member's professional and personal lives, giving each person a sense of self-worth. In my own experience, I have been able to take on new and exciting challenges in many different areas of the Firm. Each team member's passion and support has made my experience at CW one that will be hard to find at another firm."

Amanda Sipes

"Carbis Walker has allowed me to find the perfect work/life balance.  I have been with CW for over five years and during my time here, they have always been super flexible with my needs as a working mom!  As my needs changed, they found ways to incorporate those changes into my position.  This is something that is very hard to find in today’s work environment.  This is just one way CW shows that they do value their employees.  Some places may say they are “flexible,” but I can truly say my experience here has made the balancing act of working mom, doable!"

Jill Matos

Darrell A. Carley

"Working at Carbis Walker has been a great experience for me.  Beginning my career here immediately after graduating from college, I did not really know what to expect when working in public accounting.  Although it was a difficult transition from college into a full-time career, my fellow coworkers were extremely encouraging in helping me to adapt.  Also, I have been given the opportunity to work beside several of the partners and have acquired much knowledge from these exceedingly experienced individuals."
