Murphy & Murphy Accounting Group LLC was founded on a simple belief: every small business deserves the same level of financial guidance as a large corporation.
After more than four decades as a CPA serving businesses and individuals, Dave Murphy decided not to retire. Instead, he partnered with his son to build a modern accounting firm to serve small businesses that combines decades of experience with today’s technology and a fresh perspective.
Together, we help entrepreneurs spend less time worrying about bookkeeping, payroll, taxes, and compliance—and more time growing their businesses and achieving their financial goals.

About Dave
Hi, I’m Dave and I have been a CPA for over 40 years and have worked as an IT manager, hospital controller, CPA, consultant to foreign governments, and as an accounting educator. I have a lot of experience and I love to use that experience to help small businesses thrive. Like most CPAs I have a degree in accounting, but I also earned MBA and PhD degrees in accounting and finance.
Our practice is limited to bookkeeping, payroll, small business consulting, and tax preparation and tax planning for small busineses and individuals. We don’t perform audits, reviews, or other expensive services offered by many CPA firms and this means that we can offer our services to you at a substantial discount.
However, we plan on growing with you. As you grow, so do your financial needs. Our long-term vision is to continue to provide our complete range of financial services—from bookkeeping and payroll to tax planning, business consulting, and eventually we plan on including investment advisory services as a Registered Investment Adviser.
I was born in Colorado in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, attended college in Washington State, and now call Virginia home. My wonderful wife, Heidi, and I have three sons, all college graduates, and in the little spare time that we have, we enjoy traveling, bike riding, kayaking and hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
In addition to English I speak fluent, technical Spanish. When we meet you can ask me why.
