I am in need of an accountant and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations of someone who is good and reasonably priced. I am self employed so it would be helpful if the person is knowledgeable about this.

I always go to Schumann Finacial on Willow in Wheaton.
630-665-2152.
We always do well with Bill, and he does our taxes, too.

I use Douglas Bowman, he just recently moved to Lombard on Highland. I don't know if he's accepting new clients, but he's fantastic at what he does! Has a lot of high-end clients as well....doesn't charge too much, either. I'm paying about the same for tax prep as I did when I went to Jackson Hewitt all those years ago....

I don't have his number handy, but you can look him up on Yellowpages.com

OR, I believe he does individal/personal accounting as well, my company uses Walter J. Plank. He's good, though I don't know what he'd charge. I can find his number quite easily, if you're interested PM me.

We use the following for my business and personal. She's very reasonable and was recommended by my planner.

If you wait a bit longer to find an accountant, you may be able to get it done for half price. Like buying Christmas Lights at Soukups in March.
