Acuff Homes

A Solid Foundation

Forty-one years ago, brothers John and Phil Acuff started their home building business, Acuff Homes, in Overland Park, Kansas. Throughout those forty-one years, many things have changed, but one thing that has remained constant is their accountant — Tom Farrell with Mize Houser & Company.

"Tom has been with us for over thirty-five years," says John Acuff. "He understands our business, has a lot of common sense, and knows how the real world works."

"Mize Houser really knows the home building and land development business," says John. "That industry knowledge has been crucial."

Building For The Future

John and Phil turned to Mize Houser to assist in succession planning. Their goal was to continue the family business and pass it on to the second generation.

"Mize Houser developed a strategic plan to continue our business through the second generation in a manner that provided minimal capital contributions by the second generation and minimized the estate tax implications. We are now in an excellent position to continue to provide world-class homes at an affordable price."

"Mize Houser continues to provide service to all of the family entities and, hopefully, will develop a plan for the third generation in the years to come," says John.

"Tom and his staff know us and understand our business and our goals."

"The quality of work is excellent and they are very responsive. We have and will continue to recommend Mize Houser to friends and associates."
