SANFORD, NC - Davenport, Marvin, Joyce & Co., LLP (DMJ) is pleased to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the public accounting firm’s Sanford office.
Founded in 1949 in Greensboro, North Carolina DMJ opened its Sanford office in April 1990 after a merger with the practice of Charles W. Jeffries. Twenty years later, more than half of the original Sanford professionals remain with the regional office of currently nine employees. In 2007, DMJ purchased the building on 509 West Main Street it previously occupied with Carolina Farm Credit, and expanded to the entire office space in an effort to accommodate its growth in the area and industry.
As long-standing members of the greater Lee County community, DMJ's Sanford office strives to maintain a position of respect and responsibility in the region and the state, and continues to look for opportunities to grow and succeed by providing value-added services for clients. The certified public accounting firm also offers an array of services including wealth management, healthcare practice and human resources consulting, cost segregation, succession planning and business valuation services.
"This milestone represents more than our commitment to this area, but our ability to build upon our core services and bring more to the table," says DMJ Sanford partner Charlie Welborn.
In an effort to continue its support of area business, DMJ will be the premier sponsor for the Small Business Banquet held annually to celebrate and recognize leadership in the small business community on Thursday, May 6. Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce and Central Carolina Community College’s Small Business Center in Lee County organizes the banquet and awards the Small Business Person and Advocate of the Year Awards that evening.
Donna Johnson, also a partner in the Sanford office noted, "For a business, relationships and its people are its greatest strength. In celebrating our twenty years we are grateful for both and are excited about the opportunity to highlight those relationships with our support of the annual Small Business Banquet."
Throughout its history, DMJ has been and continues to be a member of the PCPS section of the AICPA, and is currently members of the AICPA's Employee Benefit Plan and Government Audit Quality Centers.
