Our History

Kraft, Miles & Tatum, LLC Certified Public Accountants can find its beginnings in the business union of Felix J. Kraft (deceased) and Thomas E. Miles (deceased) in 1948. The result was a Firm with an office in Kennett, Missouri under the name of Kraft and Miles. In 1953 the Firm purchased an accounting practice in Poplar Bluff, Missouri; and in 1954, the name of the Firm took its present title with the addition of James W. Tatum (deceased) as a partner.

Over the years, the Firm grew and added new partners in Kennett and Poplar Bluff. In 1988, a merger between Kraft, Miles & Tatum and Love, Stewart, McWilliams & Gray resulted in a greatly expanded Firm. In 1989 the Firm divested itself of all other offices and took its present form.
