About Us
O'Donnell, Bonebrake & Co., P.C. began in 1994, when the principals dissolved a former practice, and along with most of the personnel, formed this new practice. Our predecessor's practice began in 1981 when the partners purchased the St. Louis office of a national firm (Lester Witte & Co.). Including predecessor firms, the practice was founded over 30 years ago.
Our practice is in a very accessible location in St. Louis County, and most of our clients are in the greater St. Louis Metropolitan area.
We service profitable, growth-oriented privately-held companies who need quality, timely advice in addition to traditional services. We provide services through people-oriented professionals with extensive experience and education in their areas of expertise.
