Our History

Grandjean & Wagner was formed in 1990 by two accountants, Reg Grandjean and Steve Wagner, Central New York natives. Prior to forming the company, Reg and Steve held positions at larger local accounting firms. At these firms their typical clientele were larger area businesses. Reg and Steve began to notice a trend in the industry as accounting firms tended to shy away from the smaller clients by focusing their attention on the larger clients that did a great deal of business.

Realizing the demand of the market and having the basic desire to work with clients who were not receiving the attention they deserved, Reg and Steve resigned from their positions and formed Grandjean & Wagner. Their mission was to help deliver success to individuals and businesses by providing a professional level of service and focus on each client’s unique needs. In 2019, three new partners were added—Megan Beiter, Nick Beiter, and Brett Grandjean—and the company became Grandjean, Wagner, Beiter & Company.
