Profile:
Sharon Bree has been KRD’s Firm Administrator since August, 2000. As firm administrator, Sharon works directly with the partners (mostly Allen Kutchins) and is involved in all aspects of office management. Sharon is involved with accounts receivable, human resource, is KRD’s network administrator, updates KRD’s website with current information about new hires and other important items, leads new employees through orientation and several other “hats” she wears!
Her goal at KRD is to create a uniform work environment where everyone performs at his or her highest level. Her success in accomplishing an employee-friendly firm are apparent from the results. Perhaps one of Sharon’s jobs that is most appreciated by the entire staff is her involvement in the detailed planning of office parties as well as outside activities.
With more than 30 years of office management and administration under her belt, Sharon is well qualified for her job. The two traits she values the most are flexibility and a sense of humor. She firmly believes that in order to survive in this business, you need a good sense of humor!
Sharon is an active member of the Illinois Association for Accounting Administrators (IAAA). During the last several years she has served as President, Vice President/Program Chair, Treasurer, and is the current Secretary of the Illinois Chapter. What Sharon finds most challenging about her job is: finding enough time in the day to perform it! What she likes most about working at KRD is “the people”. “I like the people who work here - they care about our clients; they care about each other; and they care about their families.”

For fun, Sharon enjoys golf, reading and gardening. She has two married daughters, and twin grandchildren on the way in 2007! “Being a single working mother, the one thing I've always tried to do is teach my children to be self-sufficient and develop a sense of purpose in life. And, no matter what goes wrong, always keep your sense of humor.”
