Our History
CKH’s history began in 2003, founded by Harry Catrakilis after the acquisition of ‘Ariail, Catrakilis & Company, CPA’s P.C.. Since then, the firm has undergone several different acquisitions and changes to accommodate its continued growth and addition of partners, offices, or services. Most notably, ‘CKH’ comes from a second acquisition by Harry Catrakilis in 2014 in which the resulting company name was Catrakilis Kraitzick & Hrabova, LLC.
Throughout these changes, the company has maintained its CKH identity and commitment to client success.
Today, “CKH Group” is the brand under which CKH CPAs & Advisors LLC, (attest services), and CKH Consulting LLC (non-attest services) operate. These entities collectively deliver CKH’s audit, accounting, tax, and consulting services across their respective locations and jurisdictions. References to “CKH Group,” “CKH,” or similar variations generally refer to this combined organization.
