Caris Life Sciences Submits Application to New York State Department of Health for Caris Assure Blood‑Based Testing Authorization

Published

on

By

IRVING, Texas, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Caris Life Sciences® (NASDAQ: CAI), a leading patient-centric next-generation AI TechBio company and precision medicine pioneer, today announced that it has submitted an application to the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) Clinical Laboratory Evaluation Program (CLEP), administered through the Wadsworth Center, seeking authorization to perform Caris Assure®, its blood‑based molecular profiling test, on specimens originating from New York State.

Caris Assure is a blood‑based molecular profiling test designed to support comprehensive biomarker analysis using a minimally invasive blood sample. Caris Assure uses circulating nucleic acids sequencing (cNAS) to analyze the whole exome (DNA) and whole transcriptome (RNA) of 22,000 genes. This comprehensive test identifies tumor alterations, clonal hematopoiesis (CH) and inherited variants, pharmacogenomic alterations, microsatellite instability (MSI) and tumor mutational burden (TMB).

The submission initiates the formal review process required by New York State for clinical laboratories seeking to perform testing on specimens collected from New York patients. Through the Wadsworth Center, CLEP conducts comprehensive reviews of laboratory permits and laboratory-developed tests to evaluate analytical validation, quality systems, personnel qualifications and compliance with applicable state regulations.

“Caris is committed to meeting the highest standards for laboratory quality, validation and regulatory compliance,” said David Spetzler, MS, PhD, MBA, President of Caris Life Sciences. “This submission of Caris Assure for review through the New York State Department of Health’s Wadsworth Center reflects our disciplined approach to expanding access to our technologies in a manner that demonstrates the rigor, responsibility and focus on the patient that define Caris Life Sciences and guide our work in the markets we serve.”

At this time, no determination has been made by NYSDOH, and Caris Assure is not authorized for use on blood-based specimens originating from New York State unless and until CLEP authorization is granted.

Caris operates a CAP-accredited, CLIA‑certified clinical laboratory and performs testing in jurisdictions where it is authorized to do so, in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. Any future availability of Caris Assure in New York State will be contingent upon completion of the CLEP review process administered by the Wadsworth Center and receipt of the appropriate authorization.

Pillar Accounting & Technology Launches With a Tech-Driven, Complete-System Approach to Accounting and Advisory

Published

on

By

Pillar Accounting & Technology officially launched on May 8, 2026, as a dedicated outsourced accounting and technology advisory firm built to help CPA firms, nonprofits, and growing businesses gain financial clarity, strengthen operations, and scale with confidence.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ —  Pillar Accounting & Technology officially launched today as a dedicated outsourced accounting and technology advisory firm built to help CPA firms, nonprofits, and growing businesses gain financial clarity, strengthen operations, and scale with confidence.

“Most businesses don’t need another disconnected service provider. They need a complete accounting system that actually works,” said Founder Shelly Lingor. “That means clean books, integrated technology, clear reporting, and people who can help turn financial data into real business decisions.”

Founded by Shelly Lingor, Pillar was created in response to a growing challenge across the accounting industry: businesses and CPA firms increasingly need strategic, technology-enabled accounting support, but many do not have the internal capacity or infrastructure to build it effectively themselves.

Pillar delivers fully managed accounting ecosystems that combine cloud accounting, technology integration, workflow optimization, and advisory support into one connected system. The firm provides services ranging from day-to-day accounting operations through fractional CFO and strategic advisory support.

“Most businesses don’t need another disconnected service provider. They need a complete accounting system that actually works,” said Lingor. “That means clean books, integrated technology, clear reporting, and people who can help turn financial data into real business decisions.”

Pillar serves four core client groups:

CPA firms seeking outsourced Client Accounting Services (CAS) support without expanding internal headcountNonprofit organizations requiring compliant, specialized financial managementGrowing businesses that have outgrown basic bookkeepingE-commerce and multi-entity businesses in need of stronger operational and financial systems

Unlike traditional outsourced accounting providers, Pillar does not offer tax preparation or wealth management services. That positioning allows the firm to operate as a collaborative, non-competing partner to CPA firms and advisory practices.

The firm’s technology-forward model includes expertise in platforms such as QuickBooks Online, Xero, A2X, Cin7 Core, workflow automation systems, and emerging AI-driven operational tools. Pillar also provides accounting system implementation, workflow design, cloud migrations, secure client data hosting, and ongoing optimization support.

Pillar’s launch comes at a time when many CPA firms are overwhelmed by bookkeeping demands, staffing shortages, and growing client expectations around technology and advisory services.

“We’ve seen firms spend too much time buried in accounting cleanup and operational issues instead of focusing on higher-value advisory work,” Lingor said. “Our role is to remove that burden so firms and business owners can focus on growth, strategy, and serving their clients well.”

The company’s leadership team includes Jay Kimelman, who recently joined the firm as Chief Operating Officer and leads Pillar’s Virtual Chief Technology Officer (VCTO) practice. His background in outsourced accounting, automation, systems integration, and AI-driven workflows strengthens the firm’s operational and technology capabilities.

Pillar’s approach is rooted in what the firm describes as a “no-judgment partnership” philosophy—recognizing that many businesses seeking accounting support are navigating rapid growth, operational complexity, or financial systems that have fallen behind.

“Messy books are usually a symptom of growth without infrastructure,” Lingor said. “We’ve seen this before. Our job is to help clients build the systems and visibility they need moving forward.”

The firm will initially focus on serving clients and partners throughout Florida and Georgia, with a broader nationwide growth strategy centered on CPA firm partnerships and cloud-based service delivery.
