State and Local Government
At Braver, we are committed to providing high quality audit, accounting and consulting services to state and local governments, as well as quasi-governmental agencies and municipal utilities. We have a dynamic team of highly trained and experienced certified public accountants to serve clients in this very specialized area. This allows Braver to assign the same team through the many years of an engagement.
It is a source of pride that we count among our clients one third of the municipal electric utilities in Massachusetts as well as electric and water utilities in Rhode Island. The professionals at these organizations have expressed appreciation for our insights into the political and economic environment of the electric utility industry.
We have enjoyed long standing relationships with many of our government clients; over 40 cities and towns rely on Braver for the depth of knowledge our team provides. The breadth and diversity of our clients are evidence of our dedication to the state and local government sector and our abilities to provide high quality, timely services within this specialized industry.
These clients and related work have enabled Braver to develop a reputation as a quality service provider in governmental accounting, auditing and financial reporting procedures and practices. We have led the industry in implementing complex pronouncements issued by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
