Experience the Transformative Power of Withum Plus You - that’s the Power in the Plus!

Founded in 1974 in a small New Jersey office, Withum began with three accountants and one vision: to build a professional-services firm where people and integrity come first. Over the past five decades, that vision has grown into one of the nation’s leading independent advisory, tax, and audit firms.

Today, Withum’s 3,100 professionals across 27 US offices serve entrepreneurial companies, publicly traded corporations, not-for-profits, and global organizations spanning industries such as construction, energy, financial services, healthcare, industrial and consumer products, life sciences, manufacturing, nonprofits, professional services, real estate, technology, and theatre & entertainment.

While more than 50% of the top 30 accounting firms have sold to private equity, Withum has deliberately chosen a different path - to stay independent and partner-owned, and to continue embracing the long view, building strong client relationships and focusing on firm culture. The firm’s purpose is clear: to be a catalyst for the growth and success…of our People, our Clients and our Communities.

The Withum Way certainly appears to be a winning one. Over the past 5 years, Withum’s business has more than doubled, exceeding $700M in annual revenue. Growth has been fueled by organically growing client relationships, strategic acquisitions, and the expansion of the firm’s advisory capabilities.

And momentum continues to build. In 2025, Withum was recognized as one of America’s Best Accounting and Tax Firms by Forbes, named Audit Firm of the Year by Hedgeweek, and listed by USA Today and Statista among America’s Most Recommended Tax & Accounting Firms.

MARKETING AS A DRIVER OF WITHUM’S FUTURE

As Withum enters its next chapter as a truly national offering, the firm is focused on elevating brand awareness, sharpening market differentiation, and increasing understanding of its advisory capabilities—all while preserving what makes the firm special: its culture and people. For the Chief Marketing Officer, this means owning a narrative of bold independence, culture-led growth, and a partnership that powers clients—today and tomorrow.
