In 2001, Vance Roy created Roy and Associates, PC as a professional corporation providing public accounting and consulting services in western Pennsylvania. Although a new firm, the practice traces its roots back to the 1940 western Pennsylvania public accounting practice of Frank Smith, CPA, based in Greensburg, Pennsylvania.

In 2007, Roy and Associates, PC expanded its resources by consolidating its practice with Matchett, Frusco & Associates, P.C. a western Pennsylvania public accounting firm that traces its own roots back to 1938, when its was founded as Rigby & Heasley to provide accounting and tax services in Jeannette, Pennsylvania.

Lee Matchett and Leslie Frusco, the previous partners of Matchett, Frusco & Associates, P.C., have reduced their active roll in the Firm resulting from the combined practices. However, they remain of counsel to the Firm and their experienced staff has added to the available resources of the Firm.

Influence of George A. Conti, CPA

George Conti, Sr. founded George A. Conti, CPA as a sole proprietorship in 1942 to provide public accounting services in western Pennsylvania, after learning his craft at Main & Company, first in its New York City office and later in its Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania office. He soon purchased the equipment and took over the accounts and the Greensburg office of Frank Smith, CPA, who was leaving for military service.

George A. Conti & Company became a partnership in 1960 when James Carroll was admitted as a Partner. David Stewart and Vance Roy were also admitted as Partners in 1976, and Mr. Conti and Mr. Carroll retired effective 1978 and 1983, respectively. In 1985, when this practice became Conti, Stewart, Roy and Associates, PC it had grown from the meager beginnings of one CPA with no clients to become one of the largest professional accounting firms in Westmoreland County.

Mr. Conti’s visible legacy continued in Conti, Stewart, Roy and Associates, PC under the co-management of Mr. Stewart and Mr. Roy until 2001, when Mr. Roy withdrew from this practice and created Roy and Associates, PC as a separate professional corporation providing public accounting and consulting services in western Pennsylvania. However, Mr. Conti’s work ethic, dedication to the profession and heritage of quality services did not disappear with the division of the practice into two entities.

Mr. Conti’s early involvement and participation as an Officer of the PICPA had been continued in more recent times by Mr. Roy, not only by service to the Southwester Chapter of the PICPA in many capacities including President, but by enabling staff members to participate as well. Mr. Conti’s legacy of providing auditing and tax services to local non-profit organizations was assumed by Mr. Roy many years ago and continues today. Despite its smaller staff, Roy and Associates, PC has continued to provide a full range of audit, review, compilation, bookkeeping, payroll, income tax, estate tax, and consulting services to clients in the fields in which the Firm has expertise, following the practices, procedures and philosophies established so long ago by Mr. Conti, as expanded and continued through the years.

Influence of Dean W. Matchett, CPA

Upon the 2007 consolidation of practices, the legacy provided by Dean Matchett to public accounting and the community became a part of the heritage of this Firm as well. He entered into public accounting with Rigby & Heasley in 1948 and became a partner in that firm in 1954 upon the death of Albert Heasley, whereupon it was renamed Rigby & Matchett. Mr. Matchett became managing partner of his company in 1960 when, upon the retirement of Ronald Rigby, it became Matchett and Reno until the 1995 retirement of Frank Reno, when it became Matchett & Company, PC. Under his stewardship, it developed and maintained an enviable reputation for providing quality services both to its clients and to the community. Mr. Matchett himself served on many local boards and school authorities, highlighted by more than forty years of active service to the Westmoreland Chamber of Commerce and its predecessor.

Influence of Lee A. Matchett, CPA

Lee Matchett, who joined Matchett and Reno in 1986, has extended the heritage provided by Dean Matchett from 1948 until his death in 2000. He continued in father's footsteps not only by providing excellent accounting and tax services, but through his commitment to the community, with a long history of his own service to the Westmoreland Chamber of Commerce and the Redstone Highlands, and as a founding Board Member of the Central Westmoreland Habitat For Humanity. In 2004, Lee Matchett merged Matchett & Company, PC with Leslie G. Frusco, CPA to create Matchett, Frusco & Associates, PC.

Influence of Leslie G. Frusco, CPA

Leslie Frusco has been quite active in many community affairs, most prominently with Central Westmoreland Habitat For Humanity. She has also been heavily involved in the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA), in numerous capacities, including serving two (2) terms as President of the Southwestern Chapter. Her commitment to her community and her profession has also resulted in having enabled various members of her staff to participate in similar positions of authority with both the Central Westmoreland Habitat For Humanity and the Southwestern Chapter of the PICPA.
