PBMares, LLP Combines with Fairfax Firm BSB CPAs + Advisors

PBMares, LLP Combines with Fairfax Firm BSB CPAs + Advisors

PBMares, LLP, a leading accounting and consulting firm, has merged with Fairfax-based BSB CPAs + Advisors, effective January 1, 2025. This strategic combination enhances PBMares' presence in the Washington, D.C. Metro area and adds depth to its existing industry niches. 

The merger brings together nearly 400 employees, including 60 partners, resulting in a combined annual revenue exceeding $90 million. BSB CPAs + Advisors, founded in the early 1980s, specializes in tax, financial accounting, and assurance services, with a focus on outsourced accounting, employee benefit plans, construction and real estate, and government contracting. These areas complement PBMares' existing strengths. 

Harvey Johnson, CEO and Partner at PBMares, stated, "This is a strategic combination for many reasons. From the very beginning, it’s been clear that BSB and PBMares share the same values and approach to client service. Culturally, it’s a great fit. And as our industry transforms and evolves, we both believe we can bring greater value and enhanced services to our clients by aligning services and sharing infrastructure." 

Debbie Harris, Managing Partner of BSB CPAs + Advisors, added, "For us, this combination represents a long-term succession plan for both firms, enhances our ability to offer clients innovative solutions to a wider range of needs, and adds more career paths for our people." 

Founded in 1963, PBMares, LLP is a Certified Public Accounting and consulting firm serving the audit, tax, accounting, and consulting needs of companies and individuals. The firm operates from offices in Virginia, Northern Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina, representing a diverse client base ranging from closely held private businesses to leading non-profits and Fortune 500 multinationals. 

This merger underscores PBMares' commitment to sustainable growth and enhancing its service offerings to meet the evolving needs of its clients.
