CPA Gary Thomson will take over as chairman of the Virginia Society of Certified Public Accountants' board of directors Thursday. He succeeds Richard Groover, a CPA and shareholder at Norfolk-based Wall Einhorn & Chernitzer.
As Thomson is taking on a new role at VSCPA, he’s also retiring from Dixon Hughes Goodman at the end of the month, where he’s served as a regional leader for 14 years. He’s been the firm’s partner for the mid-Atlantic region, which included Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia and Washington, D.C.
In a transition plan that’s been in the works for more than a year, Tricia Wilson, a partner in the firm’s Charleston, S.C., office, took over Thomson’s former territory as well as North Carolina and South Carolina last year. Wilson’s now regional managing partner of the Atlantic region.
