Brown Edwards Acquires DesRoches & Company in Virginia Beach

We are thrilled to announce that Brown Edwards has acquired DesRoches & Company, a respected accounting practice that has served the Hampton Roads community for 35 years.

Since its founding in 1988 by two entrepreneurial brothers, DesRoches & Company has built a sterling reputation for delivering exceptional client service and deep expertise in specialized areas. This acquisition represents a significant milestone in our continued growth and commitment to serving clients across Hampton Roads.

What This Means for Our Clients

This strategic partnership brings more than 25 talented professionals into our team, expanding our workforce to over 475 accounting experts. With the addition of our new Virginia Beach office, we're better positioned than ever to serve clients throughout the region with the same personalized attention they've come to expect, backed by the resources of a larger firm.

Strengthening Our Service Offerings

DesRoches & Company's established expertise in this specialized area will significantly deepen our bench strength, allowing us to provide even more comprehensive solutions to Common Interest Realty Association (CIRA) clients across our expanded footprint.

In addition, Brown Edwards brings additional services to DesRoches & Company clients to support growth:
