SYRACUSE — Peters & Associates, CPAs, P.C. (P&A), a Syracuse–based accounting firm, recently announced it has completed the acquisition of a Utica–based CPA firm.

P&A acquired Robertello & Harrington, CPAs, P.C. “The merger is expected to bring P&A additional revenue in excess of 25 percent,” the firm said in a news release.
