History
In 1984, Chuck Duff developed the initial business plan for the firm that is now Duff Kitchel. Prior to this, Chuck performed tax compliance, financial reporting services, and financial operations management for closely-held companies with KPMG Peat Marwick. In 1981, he joined a large local accounting firm where he focused on management consulting through the use of innovative accounting and reporting systems and related software. In 1984, Chuck recruited Larry Kitchel from Texas A&M University. Larry’s intense attention to detail, passion for tax procedure and planning, and dedication to clients resulted in Larry becoming a Duff Kitchel shareholder in 1995. With varied and complementary skills and a shared belief in their business model, Chuck Duff and Larry Kitchel expanded the firm into what it is today—a full-service provider of accounting, tax, and consulting services to meet clients’ needs from basic to complex. With employees from varying backgrounds and possessing a myriad of strengths and skill sets, our firm provides CFO servicer, controller services, and tax and accounting expertise tailored to our clients’ diverse needs and circumstances.
