Combination adds depth in existing industry niches and combined revenue of more than $90 million

PBMares, LLP is excited to formally welcome new partners, team members, and clients from the merger with BSB CPAs + Advisors. The merger took place on October 1, 2024 and the two firms officially joined as of January 1, 2025. Five new partners and 36 new employees joined PBMares in the combination.

The merger, which was previously announced, was driven by both firms’ desire for sustainable growth and commonalities in culture, core values, and service offerings.

PBMares will operate from two offices in Fairfax: the existing location at 12150 Monument Drive and the new, second office at 4114 Legato Drive – where BSB has been located. PBMares now has 13 offices across Northern, Central, and Coastal Virginia; Rockville, Maryland; and North Carolina.

Harvey L. Johnson, PBMares CEO, said, “This merger enhances existing expertise and adds depth to specialty practice areas and industry concentrations. More than that, the cultural fit is something really special. I’m excited for what the BSB team will bring to the table and how we will work together to shape the future of PBMares.”
