Premier Group

Listen to this article

Founded in 2005, Premier Group has grown over 21 years into a certified public accounting firm delivering federal auditing, tax, accounting, compliance and advisory services to government agencies, nonprofits and businesses nationwide. The firm employs 40 people and is 100% women-owned, generating $4.5 million in revenue in its most recent completed fiscal year, up from $3.75 million the prior year.

Building a firm that competes at the highest levels of federal accounting was the animating goal from day one. Earning that first major federal contract, establishing past performance from scratch and winning the trust of agency partners required persistence against persistent skepticism, about capacity, credentials and staying power. In the commercial marketplace, those barriers took different forms: access to capital and earning credibility in rooms where the firm’s leadership was often the only woman present.

Premier Group has responded by making the advancement of women central to how the firm operates. Women lead client engagements, manage relationships and hold decision-making roles throughout the organization. The firm funds professional certifications and sponsors continuing professional education to support staff advancement into leadership. That commitment extends into the broader accounting community through the president and CEO’s membership on the Bi-County Business Roundtable and engagement with the National Society of Black CPAs.

Recognition has followed sustained growth. The firm’s president and CEO was named among The Daily Record’s Top 100 Women in Maryland and earned Inc. 5000 honoree status in both 2024 and 2025. Premier Group counts federal agencies, nonprofits and mission-driven businesses among its clients, organizations that rely on the firm for sound financial decision-making.
