The Chicago-area accounting and consulting firm Porte Brown has announced a merger with Brown, Kaplan + Liss (BKL). The Evanston-based public accounting firm is notably one of the largest such firms along the north suburban Lake Michigan shoreline.
The professionals from BKL, now operating under the Porte Brown name, will continue to service clients in their downtown Evanston location at 500 Davis Street.
Brown, Kaplan + Liss dates back to 1962 and is known as an industry leading, reputable firm providing accounting, assurance, attest, tax, planning and consulting services for businesses, business owners, trusts, estates and individuals in many fields, each of which has its own unique tax and regulatory circumstances.
“We are very excited about the new opportunities to work together with the talented team of Brown, Kaplan + Liss,” said Bruce Jones, Managing Partner of Porte Brown. “We have known BKL for years and just recently started to discuss a merger. Once we started to share our philosophies of client service, investing in top talent and the importance of supporting local businesses and communities, we knew it was a perfect fit.”
