Navigating small business taxes in Chicago can be a headache, but John makes the entire process feel manageable and transparent.

I don't leave many reviews, but Brian and his team are absolutely worth it. I work directly with…read moreBrian, but I've also communicated with his team while managing accounting and tax tasks, and I can't say enough good things about them. They are knowledgeable, kind, communicative, and genuinely have your best interests at heart which are qualities you want in anyone handling your money and business needs. They're reliable and consistently go the extra mile to ensure you feel supported. Every request I had was handled promptly, leaving me feeling secure and confident. Brian's practice is guided by excellent values, and his accounting firm is a prime example of why I love living in Chicago. It shows that people here take care of each other, remember what's truly important, and maintain strong ethics in everything they do.

For an accounting firm that has such glowing reviews, I was expecting at least a follow up to my…read moreemail inquiry asking for information about their services. I sent an email right before tax season started to avoid their busy season, however, my email went ignored and no one ever followed up with me much less answered the email. Not sure why they have email as a method of contact if they will just dismiss a potential customer's email.

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!

Hey Angelo, Looks like a "going out of business fire sale"…read moreYou charged me $275 for three years of non-help and now you have offered $99 for TEN YEARS? What business discounts their ONE and ONLY product by 90 PERCENT? It must be of very little value to your customers. "Take the money & Run?" I come with GOOD NEWS! Being that we have now been on our low, flat fee for over 10 Years, we are saying "THANK YOU!" with a CRAZY BLACK FRIDAY SALE! Current customers know I have done some pretty crazy deals on Black Fridays, this year is no exception! You need to see it to believe it! Before I get to the SALE, it's sad I have to mention this next part but I must. Because our Black Friday Deals usually go Above and Beyond, I need you to be understanding of the following. We have learned from past Black Friday experience, that some people who recently enrolled or renewed their accounts ask for refunds on the regular price they paid for recently so they can snag the Black Friday deal instead. We cannot do this because we are not Walmart with deep pockets and because we have a No Refund Policy. We do several sales every year to HELP people get past the rough spots in life. This SALE allows current customers to ADD A CRAZY AMOUNT of "ADDITIONAL TIME" to existing accounts and for new customers, at an UNBELIEVABLE price! We would be forced to deny and contest any such attempts to stop original payments. We then would stop all appeal services as we reserve the right to stop service for any reason, at any time. Please be aware we win 100% of charge back cases we contest by proving the credit security info was provided by the card holder to get the charge approved in the first place. This would then make the complaining party look bad to their bank, like they were trying to pull something shady (trying to slide out of charge they know they were responsible for) and risk account closure or other legal ramifications from their bank. Please do NOT put either of us in this position. Instead, let's be decent, honest, civil and let's kick some property taxes in the ass together for the NEXT 10 YEARS! PS. That's a hint on the Black Friday SALE !
