"We began our relationship with Brown Edwards in January 2017 and it has proven to be an extremely beneficial partnership.  Our Brown Edwards team, Billy Robinson and David Sheaffer, has been responsive and prompt.  They have provided expert advice and insights on maneuvering through construction accounting complexities, acquisition scenarios, as well as guidance on a host of other difficult issues.  Brown Edwards has truly helped our organization grow and I consider Billy and David not just our CPAs and advisors, but great friends."

"When we partnered with Brown, Edwards & Company, LLP in 2011, it quickly became evident that it was one of the best decisions we made as a family-owned business. They provide high quality work and answer questions or concerns in a clear, precise and timely manner. Brown Edwards provides support and advice with tax planning strategies that offer the potential for continued growth and profitability in our industry. It was with their expert guidance that we were able to make a business acquisition in 2013. They exemplify what an outstanding accounting firm can do.

We look forward to continuing our relationship as they are, without question, one of our best assets. We highly recommend Brown, Edwards as an accounting firm to be trusted to deliver above and beyond expectation."

"For over twenty years, I have trusted the CPA advice and service of the accountants at Brown Edwards. During the decade that I was the CEO of my companies, and grew from 60 employees to close to 300 employees, the challenge of doing business and filing state tax returns in over twenty states was simplified and streamlined by Brown Edwards. Matt Burchett has handled the preparation of our audited financial statements during this entire period, and has kept the senior managers of my companies up to speed on the latest rule changes that affect our business. I consider Matt and the CPAs at Brown Edwards to not only be essential advisors to my group of companies, but also to be faithful friends."

They’re always ready and able to help, and make us feel that no one else is more important than we are. And just recently, in a matter of hours, they helped us identify an error made by the Division of Highways that would have cost us several million dollars in prequalification capacity."
