Most business owners are not behind because they are careless. They are behind because bookkeeping takes time, gets pushed off, and no one is staying on top of it consistently.

I ended up sending my tax documents over in pieces this year, and honestly thought it would be a headache but Thompson Flaherty handled it really well. They stayed on top of things, kept following up for what was missing, and made the whole process a lot less stressful for me. Even though I couldn’t get everything in on time, they were proactive about filing an extension and making sure everything was handled properly. That really stood out to me. Their pricing is also very reasonable, and you definitely feel like you’re getting your money’s worth. Overall, I’ve been really impressed with their level of service and attention to detail. You can tell they genuinely care about their clients and staying ahead of things. Definitely recommend them.

I honestly can’t say enough good things about Thompson Flaherty. They’ve saved me a significant amount of money just by taking the extra time to explain tax law changes and applying things I didn’t even know about. I also really appreciate how responsive they are. I know how busy CPA firms get during tax season, but they’ve always gotten back to me—whether it’s a call or email—which goes a long way. Their pricing is very fair too, especially compared to larger firms where you just feel like a number and don’t get much value. With Thompson Flaherty, you actually feel like you’re getting real advice and support. They’ve been a huge help with my bookkeeping, taxes, and overall guidance. Definitely someone I trust and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a solid CPA.

I’ve been using this accounting firm for my tax and accounting needs and have been extremely impressed with their professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail. What really stands out is their practical, client-first advice—for example, they guided me on a multi-state situation with small amounts of income and explained that filing each return separately would create unnecessary costs through the software, and instead recommended a more efficient and reasonable approach based on expected notices and actual tax due. This kind of thoughtful, strategic guidance shows they truly look out for my best interest rather than just processing forms. They take the time to understand my situation, provide clear direction, and treat my matters as if they were their own. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for trustworthy and reliable accounting support.

I’ve been with Jim Klostermann for over thirty years. He has been most outstanding. A super great guy.

If Your Books Are...

Months or
years behind

Tax time rolled around and things got pushed off. Then more time passed. Now there's a pile of statements, a stack of receipts, and a growing feeling that the longer you wait, the worse it gets.

Disorganized and
inconsistent

Transactions are entered, but they're in the wrong category. Accounts don't reconcile. One month looks great, the next looks like a mess. You can't trust the reports enough to use them.

Missing or
inaccurate

Receipts never made it in. Invoices got forgotten. Personal and business expenses got mixed up. You suspect the numbers aren't right, but you don't know where to start fixing them.

Getting things cleaned up is the first step. We take over, fix what is broken, and get everything current so you can move forward with confidence. Most cleanups start with the account list itself, which is why we wrote up how to set up a chart of accounts for Illinois small businesses.

Bookkeeping That Gives You Clarity and Control

Your books should not just exist for tax time. They should help you understand what is happening in your business right now.

See Exactly Where Your Money Is Going

You get clear, organized financials that show what is coming in, what is going out, and where your business stands each month.

Stay Organized Without Having to Think About It

Receipts, accounts, reconciliations, and reports are handled every month. You are not trying to stay on top of bookkeeping or remember what needs to be done. It is taken care of in the background so nothing falls behind.

Focus on Running Your Business

Bookkeeping takes time, especially when it is not done consistently. We handle the day-to-day work so you are not spending hours each month trying to catch up or fix mistakes.
