LeMay & Company

What LeMay & Company does

LeMay & Company is a privately held CPA firm founded in 1997 by Robert LeMay, headquartered in Springfield, Virginia. The firm provides accounting, tax preparation, tax planning, tax resolution, payroll, bookkeeping, and business formation services primarily to small businesses, entrepreneurs, and individuals in the Northern Virginia region. Its service portfolio spans core offerings (business and individual tax preparation, bookkeeping, payroll) to add-on advisory services including Virtual CFO and QuickBooks Training & Consulting, covering entity selection, financial statement compilation, cash flow management, and strategic business planning. The firm uses QuickBooks (Online and Desktop) and the Onvio Client Portal (Thomson Reuters) for client engagement and document exchange.

The business operates on a fee-for-service professional services model, delivering engagements through scheduled appointments, phone consultations, and in-person meetings. Revenue is generated from hourly or project-based billing typical of regional CPA firms, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The firm markets through a digital presence — website blog content, social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, X/Twitter), email newsletter, and client referrals — and positions itself as a relationship-based practice where staff integrate into client teams. LeMay & Company is founder-owned and operated with no external institutional investment, and operates with a small staff of 1-10 employees out of a single Springfield, Virginia office. The owner performs 250+ hours of annual volunteer service and serves as an instructor for the Virginia Tech Income Tax School.
