Our Story

Who We Are & How We Got Here

History

The roots of Ciaccia CPA date back to 1982, when Charles K. Montecino, CPA, founded a family-owned accounting firm in South Jersey. He built a trusted practice on personalized service and financial integrity.

In 2003, his daughter Meggan Ciaccia joined the firm, as a Staff Accountant, continuing the family legacy. Inspired by her father’s entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to clients. Meggan developed a strong foundation in the business.

After earning her CPA license in 2013, she was named Partner the following year. Meggan purchased the firm in 2021, as a significant investment in her future and a deep commitment to the legacy she helped build. Marking a new chapter grounded in responsibility and vision.

Upon Charles’ retirement in 2021, Meggan proudly rebranded the firm as Ciaccia CPA, to honor the foundation while embracing a modern era: leading a relationship-driven firm still grounded in the values her father instilled over four decades ago.
