LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mowery & Schoenfeld<\/a>, a top 150 advisory, consulting, and accounting firm, is celebrating 30 years of service as founder Jeffery Mowery has emerged as a leading voice in the growing push for independence across the profession.<\/p><\/a><\/a>

\nAs private equity investment reshapes the accounting landscape and drives consolidation among mid-sized CPA firms, Mowery has taken a clear stand: Independence is not just a strategy, but a long-term commitment.<\/p>

\n\u201cOur firm is focused on growth that centers independence,\u201d said Mowery, a two-time Accounting Today Managing Partner Elite honoree. \u201cThirty years in, we have proven you don\u2019t need outside capital to build something enduring. You need the right people, an entrepreneurial mindset, and the discipline to keep adapting and evolving.\u201d<\/p>

\nMowery and Keith Schoenfeld founded the firm in 1996 in Lincolnshire, Ill., after leaving large CPA firms to build a more personal, advisory-driven model. Over the next three decades, the firm expanded its service offerings, grew its team from within, and completed strategic acquisitions \u2014 while prioritizing the client relationships and talent development on which the firm was built. Today, Mowery & Schoenfeld has grown from three employees to over 200, with offices in Lincolnshire, Chicago, and Lake Forest, Ill., Miami, and the Philippines, and more than $48 million in revenue.<\/p>

\n\u201cI would describe our firm in one word: learning,\u201d said Mowery, who has served as Mowery & Schoenfeld\u2019s managing partner since 2008. \u201cWe never stop learning \u2014 about our clients, our people, and the market. That approach allows us to stay independent as we grow our business and develop the next generation of firm leaders.\u201d<\/p>

\nThat philosophy goes beyond the firm. Mowery has become an outspoken advocate for independence in the accounting profession, urging firms to carefully weigh the long-term implications of private equity investment against the value of control, culture, and client experience.<\/p>

\n\u201cAs we look ahead to the next 30 years, our focus is the same as it was from day one,\u201d Mowery said. \u201cInvest in our people, deepen our client relationships, and build a firm that thrives on its own terms.\u201d<\/p>
