Accountable to Ourselves...
At Breard, we work hard to maintain a work environment conducive to flourishing careers. Unlike the usual 'Two and out rule', our employees stay for decades. Individuals draw from each other's competencies in a learning environment that is enhanced by our support of continuing education in accounting and/or time management skills. In fact, our staff consistently exceeds the California professional educational requirement. Once a year, we sponsor a highly productive corporate management retreat in settings ranging from the mountains to the sea, allowing staff to develop new strategies in a relaxed atmosphere and in the company of their families.
Accountable to the Planet...
Our commitment to helping heal the planet has put us on a path toward a paperless office. Learn more about our environmental practices.
Our Partners
Kevin G. Breard, Managing Partner
Excellence is an achievable standard when one makes a serious personal commitment to its attainment. That's what company founder and managing partner Kevin G. Breard believed when he opened the doors to his Certified Public Accounting office in l989, and it's what he still believes today.
This commitment to excellence, along with Breard's entrepreneurial spirit, permeate every aspect of the firm's culture, and serve as the foundation for the teamwork and dedication it takes to provide the best possible service to every client.
Kevin has nearly 30 years of accounting experience, including 26 years of public accountancy and several years as a CFO of a small subsidiary of a NYSE-listed company. The founding of Breard and Associates was the result of his dream to provide a broad range of services to a diverse clientele. His certification as a CPA in four states, as well as his CFE, CFS, FINOP and DABFA licenses, has enabled him to make the dream a reality.
Breard holds a BS in Accounting, with a business emphasis, from CSU Northridge. He studied Corporate Governance at Tulane University Law School.
