The team was professional, and explained things in a way that actually made sense (without talking down to me or rushing me). They asked the right questions, double-checked everything, and I felt confident that my return was done correctly. Also appreciated how smooth the communication was from start to finish -- no chaos, no last-minute panic. If you're looking for a reliable tax prep/accounting firm in the area, I'd definitely recommend TM Accountant.

When I learned Tony had launched his firm I sought his expertise to prepare my income tax returns. He also helped me set up my initial ROTH IRA. A few years ago I had the opportunity to invest my entire 401K with an established firm and consult with an advisor that could provide me with guidance and knowledge to ensure I would reach my retirement goals and continue my financial stability. Tony met with me and we walked thru a few financial scenarios, ultimately selecting the one that meets my current needs. I like that Tony listens to my concerns and values my opinion. He offers comprehensive financial advice. I have confidence in Tony and his continuing to assist me with my investments and earning goals. Note, I live in Chicago and APC is in the burbs- I easily communicate with Tony & his team via email and phone.

Being self-employed, the new health care forms were very confusing to me. APC shared a few good tools so that I could learn about how to deal with the ACA rules and guidelines.

Monthly newsletters have been really interesting and always teach me something that I don't know about money. Their whole team from the receptionist to the owner really cares about my success. The environment is friendly and professional. I highly recommend APC for tax advice or financial planning. They are the best!

Mike's expertise and knowledge of financial planning is second to none. He gives you great ideas to think about without the "high pressure" you get from other financial advisors.

This year would be our 3rd year using Draus and Associates. We received a bill for double the amount we paid 3 years ago. We had less to claim and less work to be done with filling this year. They clearly state on their website that taxes are a FIXED price that both parties are clear about. This is a complete lie. We called for an explanation, and they said "prices go up every year". They took our money for the taxes and then didn't even file for months later. Avoid using this company.

I chose to use FPHC because a friend raved about them. I knew that my finances in 2025 would be…read morevery different from previous years, and I wanted to make sure that I was planning in advance and that, once tax season rolled around, my return would be prepared accurately. I started working with them over the summer. At that time, I wanted to make sure that I was paying estimated taxes correctly. Soon after my first meeting, I had an unexpected need to liquidate investments that left me with large capital gains. I received advice about adjusting estimated tax payments to reflect this, which I followed. Early this year, they handled my federal and state tax returns. To say there were mistakes would be an understatement. I ended up having to use one of the online tax prep programs, print out that information, and bring it in so that my return could be completed correctly. None of the information that I had provided over the summer was taken into account - I'm pretty sure that, despite conversations with them and a rather unique name, they have two separate files for me and think that I am two different people. Then I got a letter from the state informing me that they were penalizing me for incorrectly paying estimated taxes. Since my income was not consistent, due to the large capital gains received over the summer, they should have completed a specific form. This form had not been completed. I contacted the office and was told that it was MY responsibility to complete this form - it was not something that they would do for me. You would think that, given the fact that I had to provide them with a completed draft return and they failed to file the correct forms, there would be some sort of concession on fees. Not so - between what I paid over the summer and what I have been billed for the spring, they are getting over $1000. I suppose I should consider this a bargain - if I hadn't done all of the work myself, I would have lost over $3000 in refunds! Needless to say, they will not be preparing my returns in the future.
