50th Anniversary
Vrakas Celebrates 50 Year Anniversary
“I retired 25 years ago, and it has been a joy to see the firm grow as it has. The factors that created our growth were all people-driven, and you cannot fail if you have the right people. The firm is on the right course for the future. I am very proud of their progress. Keep it up.”
Robert L. Vrakas, President and Managing Shareholder (1971-1994)
It is with great pride that Vrakas S.C. announces its 50th anniversary this year (1971-2021).
Vrakas CPAs + Advisors was founded 50 years ago when its founder, Bob Vrakas, identified that the larger accounting firms were under-serving middle market, privately-held businesses in the Milwaukee and Waukesha areas.
Today, the Vrakas team continues to practice serving this niche market providing services in assurance, tax, business valuations, computer consulting, and small business accounting in a variety of industries including construction, manufacturing & distribution, dealerships, professional services, real estate, and retail.
What began as a small firm with 4 members, has now grown to over 80 professionals with two locations in Brookfield and Kenosha, Wisconsin. We are the 12th largest Milwaukee-area accounting firm and the 3rd largest Milwaukee-area headquartered accounting firm according to The Business Journal’s February 2021 rankings.
We are proud to continue to be fiercely independent with our shareholder group steadfast in its desire to remain one of the largest, locally-owned CPA firms in southeastern Wisconsin.
Experience the Vrakas Difference…
Experienced Accounting with a Personality.
