McKonly & Asbury LLP Opens New Office in Suburban Philadelphia – Berwyn, PA

McKonly & Asbury LLP continues its growth and expansion in the Mid-Atlantic.  The firm opened an office in Berwyn, PA on June 2nd, establishing a location in Suburban Philadelphia.  The office is located in the Westlakes Office Park, in the heart of the Route 202 Technology Corridor with easy access to Routes I-76 and I-476.  Nearby companies include: Vanguard, Cisco, Aetna, Provident Mutual, Microsoft, Astra Pharmaceuticals, SAP, and Shire Pharmaceuticals.

"With so many clients, particularly in our Financial Outsourcing Solutions affiliate, and with several staff members living in the Philadelphia area, we felt it was the right time for us to open an office in suburban Philadelphia.  We believe this office provides us with a better presence to serve our clients in Southeastern Pennsylvania, Delaware and Southern New Jersey.  And we also feel it will assist us in attracting and retaining the key team members we have serving those clients in the area.  We are finding great receptiveness in the market place to our philosophy of excellent service from talented, engaged professionals," said Terry Harris, Managing Partner.

McKonly & Asbury serves clients with operations and facilities across the globe, but are concentrated within the Mid-Atlantic.  This new office, similar to our Lehigh Valley and Baltimore metro locations, provides a closer proximity to client locations and to employee's hometowns.  For example, following the acquisition of Financial Outsourcing Solutions – the firm's banking internal audit practice section – the firm had dozens of clients in Lehigh Valley, suburban Philadelphia, Northern and Central New Jersey, and the Hudson River Valley.  "We hope this office will provide our employees better quality of life in the form of shorter commutes.  We think that opening new offices will lead to better client service.  It also shows our commitment to these markets for the long term.  We're here and we plan to stay," said Harris.

The Firm's new Suburban Philadelphia office is located at:

Westlakes
1055 Westlakes Drive
Suite 300
Berwyn, PA 19312
