About Us

Karen A. Roche and Joseph P. Roche founded Roche & Associates, PC, Certified Public Accountants, in 1991 to provide accounting and business consulting services to individuals and businesses throughout the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area. After a combined total of 13 years at the international public accounting firm of Deloitte & Touche, they wanted to build a firm where they could have more direct contact with their clients and work closely with them to achieve the highest level of success. That basic premise has been the foundation for the growth of ROCHE and the increased prosperity of our clients.

ROCHE works primarily with not-for-profit organizations at the chief financial officer level. The majority of the ROCHE portfolio are not-for-profit organizations of under $4Million per annum and less than20 full time employees who require the services of a controller or chief financial officer with extensive experience, but do not have the need or resources for that individual on a full-time, permanent basis. These organizations can then tap into the wealth of knowledge and experience of the ROCHE team at a fraction of the cost of a full time CFO.

ROCHE provides value to our clients by combining a high level of expertise with a "roll up the sleeves" approach to our work. Our focus on understanding our clients’ businesses and delivering superior client service has resulted in successful and long-term client relationships and fostered sustained growth.

While the ROCHE portfolio is focused on the financial management, accounting and auditing services for national and local not-for-profit organizations, the firm also serves high technology, medical practices, contractors, consulting firms and small and medium sized businesses throughout the Washington region. The focus on the not-for-profit sector is the result of the ROCHE philosophy of doing business with those who are engaged in giving back to the community.
