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 1989, 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 over 35 years of accounting experience, including 33 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 various states, as well as his CFE, CFS, 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.
