Our History
In September 1971, Bob Vrakas founded the accounting and advisory firm Vrakas, Blum & Co., S.C. after having identified that the larger accounting firms were under-serving middle market, privately-held businesses in the Milwaukee and Waukesha areas. Today, the firm continues to practice serving this niche market as Vrakas S.C.
