Answers Before You Ask

The questions we hear most often from new clients in Orland Park and Chicago suburbs.

How much do your CPA services cost?

Pricing depends on the complexity of your return and the services you need. We offer a free initial consultation so we can give you a clear quote — no surprises, no hidden fees. Most personal returns are straightforward; business returns and bookkeeping are priced based on volume and complexity.

Do I really need a CPA for my small business?

If your business earns over $5,000 a year or is structured as an LLC, S-Corp, or C-Corp, a CPA will typically save you more than they cost. Beyond filing, we help you plan, avoid penalties, and make smarter financial decisions. The cost of one missed deduction or one IRS penalty usually exceeds a full year of CPA fees.

What documents do I need to get started?

For most clients: income documents (W-2, 1099, bank statements), expense records, and last year's tax return. We'll send you a full checklist tailored to your situation after our first call — so you don't have to guess what to gather.

Do you speak Russian or Ukrainian?

Yes. We work fluently in English, Russian, and Ukrainian — so nothing gets lost in translation when it matters most. Many of our clients are from Ukraine, Russia, and other Russian-speaking countries, and prefer to discuss their finances in their native language.

Can you help me file with an ITIN instead of an SSN?

Absolutely. We regularly help clients without an SSN file properly with an ITIN, including applying for one if you don't have it yet. ITIN tax returns have specific requirements and we handle them routinely — it's one of our most common services for immigrant clients.

Do you help with LLC formation?

Yes. We handle the full process — name search, state filing with Illinois, EIN registration with the IRS, and operating agreement guidance. Usually done in 2–3 weeks. We also help you choose the right structure (LLC vs S-Corp vs C-Corp) before you file anything.

Do you disappear after April 15th?

No. We're year-round. Questions in July, amendments in September, tax planning in November — we're here. Same people, same phone number. Tax season is only part of what we do; bookkeeping, planning, and support continue all year.

How quickly do you respond?

Usually within the hour during business days. Call, text, WhatsApp, or Telegram — whatever works for you. We don't route you through a support queue or an automated system.

Can you file taxes for prior years?

Yes. We help clients catch up on unfiled returns for prior years, including addressing any IRS notices or penalties that may have accumulated. We'll review your situation and explain the best path forward before we start.

Do you work with clients remotely?

Yes. We work with clients across the Chicago suburbs and beyond — fully remote via phone, email, WhatsApp, or Telegram. You never need to come in if you prefer not to. We securely receive documents electronically and return everything the same way.
