CPAs Looking Towards the Future, Keeping Exceptional Client Service on the Forefront

Anderson Edwards PLLC was founded with a commitment to providing exceptional tax and accounting services, rooted in the belief that clients deserve both efficiency and personal attention. Founding partners Chris Anderson and Jade Edwards first connected as interns at a Norfolk, VA accounting firm. When that firm was acquired by a large multinational CPA firm, they spent the next decade refining their skills as tax and accounting professionals. While grateful for the experience, they felt the growing desire to create a firm that would offer clients a more personalized, accessible, and proactive experience. In the summer of 2024, with strong support from a network of local business professionals, they formed Anderson Edwards PLLC and set out to fulfill that vision.


At Anderson Edwards PLLC, we’re more than accountants; we’re trusted business advisors who are ambitious, resourceful, and driven to help our clients succeed. As part of our commitment to exceptional client service, we stay up-to-date and agile, adapting to the rapidly evolving financial market. By remaining informed on the latest regulatory developments, we anticipate the needs of our clients, helping them make strategic and compliant decisions amidst the complex tax and accounting environment.


Anderson Edwards PLLC is dedicated to building lasting relationships based on trust, expertise, and a steadfast commitment to the success of our clients, no matter the challenges of an ever-shifting financial and legislative landscape.
