Piltz, Williams, LaRosa & Company was first organized in 1937, as a branch of the New Orleans firm of Barton, Pilie’, Hughes & Jones. In 1962, on Barton, Pilie’, Hughes & Jones' decision to merge with a national firm, acquisition of the branch was offered to Gerald Piltz and A.C. Simms. A partnership was formed on June 1, 1962, with the name of Piltz, Simms & Co. Upon A.C. Simms' retirement on July 1, 1977, the partnership name was changed and Piltz, Williams, LaRosa & Company was born. Our main office was located on Lameuse Street in Biloxi, Mississippi.  Since Hurricane Katrina, we have established a temporary office on Lemoyne Boulevard in the St. Martin community, with a total staff of 26 professionals and support personnel (for a complete listing of directors and staff, click here.) Our founders are Gerald Piltz, Stanford Williams and Sam LaRosa, Jr.  In August of 2006, we purchased a lot in the Biloxi Commerce Park on Tommy Munro Drive.  We anticipate opening our new main office there in 2008.

The firm is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the Mississippi Society of Certified Public Accountants (MSCPA), the AICPA's Private Companies Practice Section, and the SEC Practice Section of the AICPA's Division for CPA Firms. Under the terms of these stringent admission requirements, the firm is required to subject itself to peer review every three years. Since 1987 we have received unqualified peer review opinions on the application of our professional standards. For a copy of our most recent peer review report click here.

So as you can see, our Firm has over 60 years of history and tradition providing professional public accounting services to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Thank you for taking the time to learn about our firm. Should you require more information, click on our contact information.
