LBR LLC

About LBR

Lewis, Birch & Ricardo, LLC was formed and began operating in 1990. The firm took over the accounting practice of Brock & Lewis, which operated for a number of years in the Clearwater area. Two of the three founding partners and four of our eight current partners were formerly accountants with “the Big Four” accounting firm KPMG.

LBR has significant experience and expertise in professional accounting, tax and consulting services. Our excellent reputation for serving our business and individual clients has enabled us to become one of West Central Florida’s fastest growing local firms and to attract highly qualified professionals. LBR’s experienced and highly talented CPA’s and professional accounting/tax staff is the core of our success. All of our professionals meet or exceed the continuing education standards required by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the State of Florida.

Our mission is to provide superior client service. To do so, we must always be accessible to our clients. LBR’s size allows us to be more responsive to our clients than larger firms yet provides our clients access to greater resources than smaller firms. We are proactive with our clients and strive to meet or exceed expectations on each and every engagement.
