Arlington, VA · Local advisory
Arlington's corridors from Rosslyn and Ballston to Crystal City and National Landing are packed with defense contractors, associations, technology companies and professional firms. Our advisors serve them and the professionals who live here.
What we handle
Proximity to the Pentagon and federal agencies makes Arlington a center for defense and civilian contractors, who need DCAA-compliant systems, indirect rate structures and incurred cost submissions. The growth of National Landing has also brought technology companies and their employees, with equity compensation and multi-state payroll questions.
Arlington County levies BPOL and business personal property taxes, and many Arlington residents work across DC, Maryland and Virginia. We sort out where income is taxed, claim the right credits and represent clients when notices arrive.
