Who We Serve In Chicago

Chicago businesses span every sector and every stage of development, and KBF has experience serving across all of them. Our Illinois clients include publicly traded companies with complex ASC 740 and financial reporting requirements, private equity-backed firms navigating acquisition activity and portfolio management, mid-market businesses managing growth and succession, and closely held companies whose owners want sophisticated planning and advice.

Chicago's position as a major financial center also means that many of our clients have international operations, cross-border structures, and multistate compliance obligations that require a firm with genuine global capabilities. KBF's international tax team and our offices in the Philippines give us the reach to serve these clients wherever their business takes them.

Choose KBF for Your Tax, Assurance, and Advisory Needs

KBF Advisory is a specialized firm built around the needs of companies with complex tax and financial reporting requirements. Unlike generalist accounting firms that treat tax as one service among many, KBF's practice is focused on the kinds of technical challenges — ASC 740, venture-backed and public company compliance, cross-border structures, and transaction advisory — that require genuine depth rather than broad familiarity.

Our clients consistently tell us that what sets KBF apart is the quality of the people they work with and the consistency of that relationship over time. Engagements are led and staffed by senior professionals who remain personally involved, so you are never passed to someone unfamiliar with your business at a critical moment.

KBF also operates at a scale that matters. With offices across the United States and in the Philippines, we have the reach to support clients wherever their operations take them, while maintaining the culture of a firm that genuinely invests in each client relationship.

Whether you are preparing for a significant transaction, navigating a complex compliance requirement, or simply looking for an advisor who will engage with your business the way a trusted partner should, KBF is built for that work.
