Our Story

In 1962 John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth, Jackie Robinson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame and Paul Brown opened a small accounting office in the basement of his Evanston home.

There he began building relationships to help his clients meet their financial goals. What started with a few relationships in 1962 has become Brown, Kaplan + Liss, a full-service accounting, tax and consulting firm, the largest such firm along the north suburban Lake Michigan shoreline.
