M & R Ferber
Our Story
M & R Ferber was founded in 1968 by Marion and Robert Ferber. Since then, we have been serving the local Chicagoland community by providing outstanding service at a reasonable cost. In 1998, the firm was acquired by Lucretia Perrone. Our range of services and team has grown throughout the years to ensure that we are constantly exceeding our client’s expectations.
Our logo is a cartoon of the original founding partner Robert (Bob) Ferber during the hectic tax season! The drawing was created by one of our very own clients back in the 1970’s.
