Kara Fahrenbach
Partner, CPA

As a partner in our Chicago office with two decades of public accounting experience, I consult with a variety of manufacturing clients, including private equity and public SEC registrants, on complex accounting topics. I also serve as industry technical leader in the manufacturing and distribution sector, where I oversee pre-issuance technical reviews of all industry reports and consult with engagement teams and firm clients on complex technical topics. Additionally, I help shape industry technical training and staff development.

I received a B.S. and an M.S. of accountancy from Northern Illinois University. I’m often asked to speak to clients about technical topics, including new accounting standards. I’ve presented in webinars, including a presentation through the Association for Corporate Growth, on the impact of the new revenue recognition standards on private equity. I belong to the AICPA and the Illinois CPA Society where I’m a member of the auditing and assurance committee.
