We Are Your Opportunity Advisors

In 1978, five entrepreneurial-spirited accountants left their roles at large regional firms and set out to create a new kind of accounting firm—one that would focus on building lasting partnerships with local businesses and help them grow and succeed. Today, Keiter is one of the largest accounting and consulting firms in Virginia, with a team of over 180 professionals and a portfolio of diverse clients. We see our Firm’s growth as a testament not only to our knowledge and experience but also to our core values of innovation, collaboration, accountability, and relationships.

Keiter is a team of experienced accountants and advisors with the knowledge to identify opportunities and the commitment to see them through. Whether performing an audit, preparing a tax return, or providing specialized consulting services, you can depend on us to help you make sound financial decisions throughout the lifecycle of your business.

We are more than your accountants…We are your Opportunity Advisors.

“We love being independent, we love being recognized for that in the marketplace… [People] know who they are going to be dealing with on a day in and day out basis.”
