Norfolk, VA · Local advisory

Tax and DCAA advisory for Norfolk's defense, maritime and healthcare businesses.

Norfolk is home to the world's largest naval station, a major port and a growing healthcare sector. Our advisors serve its ship repair and defense contractors, logistics companies, practices and families.

What we handle

What Norfolk clients ask us about

Ship repair, maritime and defense contractors in Norfolk and Portsmouth need DCAA-compliant accounting, labor tracking across multiple contracts and incurred cost submissions. We review systems, prepare submissions and support audits.

Norfolk's healthcare practices, port and logistics companies and military families each have their own tax issues, from owner compensation and multi-state payroll to state residency for service members. We handle them from our Virginia headquarters.
