Government

Withum’s Government Services Team provides specialization, quality and superior service in the Federal, State and Local arenas and to government contractors. The expertise of our professionals allows us to serve government engagements with outstanding breadth and depth of service.

Our Government Industry Expertise

Withum delivers all the resources you count on from a larger firm, but with the commitment of continuous partner involvement and personal accountability the Federal government has come to expect from a smaller firm. We don’t simply help Federal leaders meet legislative compliance – we audit for long-term results.

Our goal is to ensure your organization’s processes and systems maintain the highest degree of accountability and performance. In addition to traditional accountingauditingtax and consulting services, we offer specific capabilities in municipal and government accounting. With a team of Registered Municipal Accountants (RMAs), Certified Government Financial Managers (CGFMs), Certified Fraud Examiners (CFEs) and Licensed Public School Accountants (PSAs), we can provide highly qualified assistance to your entity.
