About Us

Real People. Real Answers. Right Here in Ottawa.

We're Here to Make Taxes & Accounting Feel a Little Easier.

Our office isn’t part of a big chain. We’re not a pop-up during tax season or a website that hands you off to someone you’ll never meet. We’re based right here in Ottawa, IL, and we work with people from all over LaSalle County—Marseilles, Grand Ridge, Utica, Peru, Naplate, and plenty of other nearby towns.


When you call or walk in, you’ll talk to someone who knows your name. That’s just how we do things.

01

Professionalism You Can Count On

You’re not just hiring one accountant—you’re getting the full support of our office. We collaborate, double-check, and make sure you’re taken care of with the kind of personal attention that only a local office can offer.

Fast Answers from People Who Know You

Our clients know they can reach out anytime. That’s why so many of our new relationships come from word of mouth—neighbors telling neighbors that we’re easy to work with and quick to help.

Quality Means Doing it Right, the First Time

We’re not here to rush through your return and send you out the door. Every file gets our full attention, and we don’t consider a job finished until it’s done right.

What is an Enrolled Agent?

An Enrolled Agent (EA) is a tax specialist who’s licensed by the IRS to represent taxpayers in audits, appeals, and collections. It’s the highest credential the IRS offers, and it means we can help with more than just filing your return—we can step in and speak directly to the IRS on your behalf if needed.

Having both CPAs and EAs on staff means we can help with a wide range of situations—whether you’re filing a basic return or dealing with something a little more complicated.
