I wanted to make sure I was maximizing my return and following all the rules. Anvi was so easy to work and communicate with. It starts out with the first contact - the group set a schedule and kept the appointment. The intake call was easy to understand and I walked away with my next steps. The whole process was so easy with Anvi on our side. I don't anticipate our situation was extremely out of the ordinary but being homeowners really changes quite a bit of things for me and my family. With the exception of some delays getting some organizations TAX IDs or EINs, Anvi was able to file quickly I received by refund within a week. A WEEK! I will be coming back next year. Gone are the days of filing on my own using TurboTax!

Just like the other reviews say, you basically upload all your documents on a secured portal and he will get back to you with a draft for you to review before he submits the return. You can't get any more efficient than that. His fees are reasonably priced, and I have no problem paying for the convenience. He also completed the tax declaration for my newly established HOA. My neighbor who worked with Brian was also very happy with the service.

If you are looking for a reliable, no-nonsense CPA in the Portage Park/Irving Park area, John…read moreGriffin is the person to see. Navigating small business taxes in Chicago can be a headache, but John makes the entire process feel manageable and transparent. The Experience John is incredibly professional but also very personable. Unlike some of the larger, impersonal firms, he actually takes the time to listen to your specific financial situation. He's been in the neighborhood for a long time and clearly knows the ins and outs of both Illinois and federal tax laws. Why I Recommend Him: Responsiveness: He is great about returning calls and emails, even during the peak of tax season. You never feel like just another file on a desk. Accuracy & Insight: He doesn't just "plug in numbers." He looks for proactive ways to help you save on taxes and plan for the next year. Fair Pricing: His fees are very reasonable for the level of expertise and personal attention you receive. Pro Tip His office is conveniently located on Irving Park Road. There is usually street parking available right out front, but if you're coming during a busy weekday, give yourself a few extra minutes to find a spot.

I'd been afraid to touch them. I'll NEVER try to do my own taxes again. (Plus, I like saying "my accountant"--it makes me feel rich.) Last year he actually brought my tax documents to me at my home because he was "driving by anyway." Who does that? That's awesome. I'm sure he doesn't make a habit out of it, but as a brand new client (and not the most lucrative one), it wowed me. It's small-town service in a big old city. I'd recommend Brian to anyone.

CONTEXT: Getting older (every day) and financial security is a priority to me, and I wanted to see where all my bread goes! Y'all know I love food! LOL. I wanted to set some budgets and goals with a trusted advisor. WHAT I GRABBED: Financial Advisory for the year, quarterly minimum with access to Jeff and team for financial planning as needed, discussing/planning short to long-term financial goals. COMMENDS: Jeff is clever af. He was able to drop gems within the first 10 minutes of our conversation based on my situation. I'll speak on one, an investment with my savings that netted me a couple of hundreds within a day. Now results will vary based on what you investing, but gains indeed! RECOMMENDS: Have a discovery call with the team to see if Jeff's team can be of assistance to you and your situation. OVERALL:/VALUE: 5/5 Great value so far. I've only had one session and starting on my plan with optimism. I did have trouble contacting the team at the beginning around holiday time and expressed my concern. Jeff Badu, the CEO, reached out to schedule a follow-up and explained the miscommunication. I'll follow up as the year progresses with updates! WHAT I'M VOUCHING FOR: Solid financial advice based on your situations and a range of other services around tax planning. Until next time Yelpers, LOVE, LIVE, and STACK!

Here is why I know that: the email responses I was receiving were usually a 5-7 day late during tax season, they were overwhelmed by the number of customers, my taxes were higher than what I was able to obtain though another CPA. In addition, I requested to be removed from their mailing list back in November 2024 and still receive emails about follow ups and promotions despite me being a customer. This just reminds me about the company that took $2,000 for services that didn't offer the value I paid for.
