Brown Edwards Leads the Way in CCIFP Professionals
Construction has complex revenue recognition rules and job cost accounting methods. Many firms have construction clients, but they have not dedicated the resources necessary to make construction a major practice area. We’re consistently ranked as a Top 50 Construction Accounting Firm and with twelve CCIFP certified professionals, Brown Edwards is among the top ten firms in the country regarding CCIFPs on staff.
Many of our team members are heavily involved in industry associations such as VTCA, Contractors Association of WV, Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), Homebuilders Association, AICPA, National Association of Women in Construction, and Association of General Contractors (AGC) of TN, VA, and NC.
