Charlottesville Area History

History of Our Charlottesville Practice

With over 30 years of experience serving clients in central Virginia, Keiter Stephens expanded into the Charlottesville market in 2004 by opening an office in the Peter Jefferson office park to better serve our clients in that area.

In 2005, Robert L. Tobey started his own practice that was known as Robert L. Tobey and Company. He first started his public accounting career with a "Big Five" firm in Chicago and still serves some of his orginal clients. Mr. Tobey has lived in Charlottesville for over 20 years and has served on various non-profit boards.

In 2006, recognizing the synergies between the two firms, Keiter Stephens merged with Robert L. Tobey and Company.

Paul Hoffman and Rick White started Hoffman, White & Company. P.C. in 2000. Their Firm grew into one of the most respected and recognized practices for taxation and consulting services in Charlottesville. In 2010, the founding partners of Hoffman, White & Company, P.C. very amicably decided to go in different directions. Rick White accepted the invitation to become a tax principal at Keiter Stephens and the result has enhanced the talent in our Charlottesville office. Read Press Release
