When a firm's been around for more than 90 years, it must be doing a lot of things right. Like taking the time to understand every client’s business, and providing consistent high quality work to provide our clients with the most value for their dollar.
That's the philosophy we were founded in the early 1930’s by Joseph Acre. In 1959 the firm was purchased by Don Yerkes, Louis Michels, and Charlie Callahan and evolved to Yerkes & Michels, CPA in 1969. 10 years later J. Dan Carroll became a partner with Carmen Duroni and Randy Hoffman joining Dan 20 years later in 1999. In 2014, the firm’s ownership succession continued with the addition of Emily Vail as a partner. Our firm’s beliefs have served us well - and we're proud that we still have relationships with many of the descendants of clients that were with us in the beginning. We think that says a lot about our partners, a lot about our firm, and a lot about the trust our clients have in us.
Rather than expanding at every opportunity, we've intentionally stayed on the smaller side. This enables our core group of professionals offering unique expertise to intimately know you, your business, or your organization, and provide the kind of personalized service that comes from such a close relationship.
We'd love to talk with you about how we can help you meet the challenges of today's increasingly complex environment. It could be the first step in a long and rewarding relationship.
