Since 1984

Firm Profile

In 1984, Howard Faske, Ben Ryon and Dick Singhaus formed a partnership to continue their association that began in 1970 as staff accountants at Main Lafrentz & Co., a national CPA firm (now part of KPMG Peat Marwick) and later as partners in Gibson Johnson & Co., a local Austin CPA firm.

The partners shared the same business philosophy – uncompromising service to the client. Throughout its history, Faske Lay & Co., L.L.P. has been dedicated to delivering quality accounting, tax and consulting services in an exceptional manner. 

Howard, Ben, Dick and Joe are now Partner Emeritus and serve as consultants to the firm and our clients.
