Employee Feedback Confirms Bowers as a Workplace Where Careers Flourish and Voices Are Heard
For the seventh year in a row, Bowers has been recognized as one of Central New York’s Best Places to Work, a reflection of the values we live every day and the people who bring them to life.
Presented by BizEventz in partnership with the CNY Business Journal, this recognition is based entirely on confidential employee feedback collected by Research & Marketing Strategies, Inc. It measures key areas like culture, leadership, communication, benefits, and opportunities for growth.
According to Co-Managing Partner Carl Austin, Jr., CPA: "We’ve built a firm where people can grow, lead, and enjoy coming to work. This award isn’t just about being a great place to work—it’s about being a place where careers take shape and futures are built. That’s what drives us every day."
At Bowers, we believe growth starts from within. Our continued expansion across Syracuse, Rochester, and Watertown—as well as our growing client base and service lines—has always been powered by our people. Their ideas, energy, and commitment are at the center of everything we do.
Co-Managing Partner Mike D’Avirro, CPA adds: "Our success is tied to the success of our people. We’ve been deliberate in creating a culture that motivates, supports, and challenges our team—and this recognition affirms that effort."
What makes Bowers stand out isn’t just our growth—it’s the trust, collaboration, and respect that define how we work. Our team members know their voices matter, their contributions are valued, and their growth is a priority. That mindset has allowed us to attract top talent and promote from within—ensuring continuity and shared values as we scale.
Being named one of Central New York’s Best Places to Work for a seventh time reaffirms what we’ve always believed: when you put people first, everything else follows.
Thank you to our incredible team for making Bowers a 2025 Best Place to Work in Central New York.
