McClintock & Associates, a leading public accounting firm providing specialized services to postsecondary educational institutions, is proud to announce the promotion of Chris Albecker, CPA, to Director.
“Chris’s promotion to Director is the culmination of twenty years of growth, dedication, and exceptional service to clients across the postsecondary education sector," said Managing Director Dave McClintock, CPA. “When Chris joined the firm in 2006 as one of our first recent college graduate hires, we saw enormous potential. What has unfolded since then — the relationships he has built, the expertise he has developed, and the trust he has earned from clients and colleagues alike — reflects the best of what we hope for in a long-tenured professional. This promotion is richly deserved."
As Director, Chris brings two decades of deep specialization to his work with postsecondary institutions and is one of the firm’s longest-tenured professionals. His practice spans financial statement audits, Title IV compliance audits, employee benefit plan audits, 90/10 calculations, composite score planning, and change-in-ownership consulting. That breadth of expertise, developed entirely within the firm and the higher education sector, gives him a perspective that is rare and genuinely valuable to clients navigating complex regulatory and financial decisions.
Outside of work, Chris is a dedicated community volunteer, serving as Board Treasurer for Ursuline Support Services, a nonprofit providing critical support to elderly and disabled individuals in Western Pennsylvania. A diehard Pittsburgh Penguins fan and partial season ticket holder, he can be found outside the office at his camp near Oil City, PA riding his Polaris RZR, golfing, fishing, or competing in an adult hockey league.
