“For this year’s edition of our annual feature, we wanted to showcase not only the impressive accomplishments of the area’s decision-makers, business bigwigs and giants of industry but also get to know the people behind the titles. With that in mind, we’re pleased to introduce our readers to 2023’s Executives of the Year, 19 individuals who’ve answered leadership’s call to action in their ongoing missions to make South Jersey—and its neighboring regions, too—a great place to both work and call home.“

A Rutgers–Camden alumnus, Cicalese joined Alloy in 1980. Since then, he has seen the CPA firm’s team grow and services expand, and will celebrate its 65th anniversary in 2024. In addition to providing tax and accounting solutions to individuals and businesses, Cicalese manages the firm and supervises its services in the areas of M&As, reorganization, client accounting services, payroll and more, and is a member of several professional organizations. The Medford resident passionately advocates for giving back to South Jersey and leads Alloy through many charitable initiatives, including an Adopt-a-Family drive, American Heart Association fundraising, encouraging employees’ paid volunteer days, and hosting collection drives.

What’s a secret talent or skill of yours that would surprise people?
How hard I work, still to this day. It would surprise people how early I get to work each morning, and that I’m always the first one in. And that I started my accounting career as a tax season temp—yet here I am today.

(CHERRY HILL, NJ) February 7, 2023 – Alloy Silverstein, a leading accounting and advisory firm in Southern New Jersey, announced today that they have won the Best of Accounting 5-Year Diamond Award for providing superior service to their clients for at least five (5) consecutive years. ClearlyRated’s Best of Accounting® Award winners have proven to be industry leaders in service quality based entirely on ratings provided by their clients. Fewer than 1% of CPA firms in U.S. in Canada achieve Best of Accounting status, and just 27% of the 2023 Best of Accounting winners earned the Diamond award distinction.

For the fifth year, Alloy Silverstein earned high marks from their surveyed clients, receiving satisfaction scores of 9 or 10 out of 10 from 91.1% of their clients this year, significantly higher than the industry’s average of 50% in 2022.  Clients of Best of Accounting winners are more than 70% more likely to be satisfied than those who work with non-winning firms.

“The highest compliment we can receive is on the Alloy Silverstein client service experience, and we are beyond honored to celebrate earning the Best of Accounting® Diamond Award for five years of client service excellence,” said Alloy Silverstein’s Managing Shareholder Ren Cicalese, CPA, PFS, CGMA. “The high standards set by Marvin Alloy and Ray Silverstein 64 years ago, and guaranteed by our staff today, are the hallmark of who we are as a firm.
