The firm was established in 1931 by Louis J. Kerber and Albert O. Eck Sr., with its initial offices in Springfield, Illinois, and St. Louis, Missouri. The addition of Walter E. Braeckel in 1938 gave the firm its current name.
Over the years, KEB is said to have continually evolved, diversifying its services to meet the changing needs of its clients.
KEB’s service offerings extend beyond traditional audit, accounting, and tax preparation.
