Company Overview
The Company is a full-service tax and accounting firm serving the Chicago metropolitan market. Founded in 2022, it provides tax preparation and planning, bookkeeping, financial statement preparation, payroll, sales and use tax compliance, and entity advisory services to individuals and small and midsized businesses.
The Company has scaled through organic client growth and the successful integration of an acquired book of business in 2024. Its technology-enabled operating model supports approximately 700 annual tax returns across roughly 455 unique client relationships. Approximately 30% of revenue is generated through recurring monthly and quarterly engagements, while the remaining revenue is primarily derived from re-occurring annual tax services with historically strong retention characteristics.

A cloud-based practice management platform centralizes client communications, documentation, billing, and workflow management, enabling the Company to operate with six full-time employees plus seasonal filing-period support.
