Meet Matthew Leiner, CPA – Shareholder at Buckno Lisicky & Company
Matt joined Buckno Lisicky & Company in 1999 after his college accounting professor forwarded his résumé to Lou LeMaster. With a father in private accounting, Matt was deciding between public and private accounting after graduation. One interview later, he found his home at BLCO—and nearly three decades later, he's still helping clients and mentoring the next generation of professionals.
What he loves most:
"The relationships that I have formed over the last 27 years, both with clients and fellow employees. These relationships truly make it enjoyable to come to the office every day."
Fun fact:
Before back problems slowed him down, Matt enjoyed taking on the challenge of the annual Spartan Races at Blue Mountain Ski Resort.
In the community:
Matt enjoys participating in Downtown Allentown events as a way to strengthen client relationships, reconnect with friends, and meet new people while supporting the local community.
We're grateful for Matt's leadership, dedication, and the lasting relationships he has built with clients and colleagues throughout his career at Buckno Lisicky & Company.

Meet Mery Azar – Staff Accountant at Buckno Lisicky & Company

Fun fact:
Outside of work, Mery enjoys spending time with her family, exploring nature through walks and hikes, and staying focused on her next big goal—earning her CPA license.
In the community:
Mery enjoys supporting local businesses by exploring new restaurants and coffee shops with family and friends.
