Accounting Services for Chicago Small Businesses
Four services. Most clients take two or three together, because the books feed the returns and the payroll feeds both.
We price the work before we start
We quote a flat fee after reading real numbers. We never bill by the hour.
What comes with every engagement
The same terms whichever service you take.
- A fixed fee agreed before the work starts, with no hourly surprise at the end.
- One person on your account who knows the business, rather than a queue.
- Answers to a quick question at no charge.
- Your books and returns kept in one place, so nothing is rebuilt twice.
- A reply the same working day.
- Your files handed over in full if you ever leave.
The same services, set up for your trade
A chart of accounts for a restaurant looks nothing like one for a trucking operation. Pick yours and read the filing schedule.
Questions
Common questions
Can I use one service without the others?
Yes. Plenty of clients use us only at tax time, and plenty use only the payroll. The services are priced separately and none requires another.
Which service do I need?
If the monthly record is the problem, start with bookkeeping. If the record is fine and the filing is the problem, start with the return. Otherwise describe the business in a message and we will tell you which one, including when the answer is you do not need us yet.
Is the first conversation free?
Yes, and you get an honest read on what the work involves and what it costs, whether or not you engage us.

The first conversation is free. We read three months of statements, quote a flat figure and hold it. We reply the same working day.
