About What We Do & How We Got Here
History

He left the business for four years to join a company but missed leading his own firm. After a brief time in Pitman, NJ, he restarted the company, and Charles K. Montecino CPA’s returned to its first location at 429 Woodbury-Glassboro Road in Sewell, NJ.
In the fall of 2003, Charles Montecino’s daughter Meggan Ciaccia joined the firm as a Staff Accountant. After becoming licensed in 2013, she was promoted to Partner in 2014. Upon Charles’ retirement on June 30, 2021, Meggan became the new owner and changed the firm’s name to Ciaccia CPA.
