Richmond, VA · Local advisory
Richmond is Virginia's capital and home to the Virginia Department of Taxation, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and major corporate headquarters. Our advisors serve Richmond-area companies and families on tax planning, audits and disputes.
What we handle
Because the Virginia Department of Taxation is in Richmond, many state tax audits and appeals are worked here. We represent businesses and individuals in Virginia income tax, sales and use tax and pass-through entity audits and administrative appeals, and in local BPOL appeals to the Department.
Richmond, Henrico and Chesterfield have a strong base of manufacturers, distributors, financial services firms, healthcare providers and family businesses. We help them with corporate and pass-through tax planning, financial statement audits and quality of earnings work for acquisitions.
