Reston, VA · Local advisory
From Reston Town Center to the Silver Line corridor, Reston is one of the country's leading hubs for government contractors and technology companies. Our advisors support Reston businesses from first contract to acquisition.
What we handle
Reston's federal contractors need accounting systems that pass DCAA review, defensible indirect rates and timely incurred cost submissions, while technology companies here look to the R&D credit and immediate expensing of research costs under section 174A. We bring both government contracting and tax expertise to the same engagement.
Reston was planned as a place to live, work and play, and many owners and senior employees of local companies live nearby. We help them with equity compensation, Virginia pass-through entity tax planning and IRS matters.
