Virchow, Krause and Company, LLP originally built its legacy as a certified public accounting firm. Founded in 1931 by Mr. Ed Virchow, the firm was inspired by a basic philosophy to focus on making the clients\' business better. The firm grew slowly until the 1990s, when it began to broaden its base of service offerings and expertise and expand its geographic prominence. Strategic mergers and acquisitions continue to bring breadth and depth to the product and service offerings available to our clients. In 2003, Virchow Krause achieved the ranking of 13th largest certified public accounting firm in the United States according to Public Accounting Report\'s \"Top 100 of 2003.\" Since its founding, Virchow Krause has understood that doing business with business demands absolute integrity and a belief in the value of trusted relationships. The down-to-earth style that built the firm remains evident today in the firm\'s collaborative, client-focused approach. After more than 70 years, the Virchow Krause business philosophy continues to be one of focusing on making the clients\' business better. Today, our mission statement is a resounding reinforcement of that philosophy, \"Contributing to our clients\' success by serving as their most valued advisor.\"
