Branch, Richards & Co., P.S. was founded by Andrew L. Branch, CPA, MBA in 1972 as a certified public accounting firm incorporated and licensed to operate in the State of Washington. Andrew was the first African-American CPA in the State of Washington, and the Firm is a strong proponent of Equal Opportunity and, as such, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, sex, marital status, political ideology, national origin, age, sexual orientation or sensory, mental or physical handicaps. Andrew and the other founding member, Robert A. Richards, CPA, have both since retired, and the Firm has grown over the years to offer a full array of accounting, tax, auditing, and consulting services and competes with many of the region’s larger firms in these areas. Current ownership is proud of the Firm’s roots and always strives to maintain the values and high quality of service for which it was founded.
