Celebrating 42 Years with PKS 🎉

After an incredible 42 years of dedicated service, Leslie A. Michalik, CPA, CFE, is retiring from PKS.

Leslie joined the firm on October 15, 1984, and over the course of more than four decades has become a trusted advisor to her clients, a respected colleague, and an invaluable resource to generations of PKS team members. Her knowledge, experience and commitment to those she serves have left a lasting mark on our firm.

Throughout her career, Leslie has worked extensively with local and municipal governments, nonprofit organizations, community associations and businesses, while also providing expertise in forensic accounting and fraud examination. Beyond the office, Leslie has given her time and talents to organizations throughout our community, including the Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay, St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church and the Salisbury Jaycees, where she served as the organization’s first female President.

It is difficult to capture 42 years of contributions in a single post. What we can say is that PKS is better because Leslie has been part of it.

Congratulations, Leslie, on an exceptional career. Thank you for everything you have given to PKS, our clients and our community. We wish you a wonderful and well-deserved retirement!
