I run a boutique social media marketing and photography business in Chicago. I needed an accountant desperately to clean up my books from the past three years and balance everything month over month. I love Stephanie and her team so much because it's something I no longer have to do. They balanced everything perfect for my taxes and keep my books organized every month, as well as alert me to the things that need my attention. So happy I found this service, highly recommend.

As a small-business owner, we wear many hats and there is peace-of-mind knowing our financial records are well accounted for.If you're a small business owner and think that you're going to manage your own books, even on a platform as intuitive as Quickbooks, I strongly recommend you don't and let the experts at Steph's Bookkeeping do it for you.

We've been customers of Steph's bookkeeping for a couple years now.

We are very satisfied with this company and would recommend them for anyone looking for a competent bookkeeper who is responsive and genuinely hard working. As a business owner I expect a high level of professionalism that is expected from me and my own business. Steph's bookkeeping fits the bill!!
We just transitioned from a prior bookkeeper to Steph's Bookkeeping Service and found the experience very good.

We have been using Steph's Bookkeeping for 5+ years now. The monthly and quarterly reports are always on time and accurate. This makes easy work for the accountant to close out the year.

I run a small health care practice in a rural area of East Central Illinois for nearly 25 years. In the last 5 years, I’ve outsourced book-keeping— “leaving it to the professionals” instead of continuing to do work that I’m not good at (also another layer of work as both a physician and business owner). Steph’s has been the best solution yet! She was able to dive right in and eventually assigned my account to Melanie. I continue to do payroll and my local CPA continues to do the taxes.The ongoing book work was a hole that has been filled to my satisfaction. Steph’s team is professional, polite and prompt despite my occasional delays in communication.. I plan to be a long-term client and grateful for this service.
Stephanie has been handling our bookkeeping for a couple of years. They are responsive, flexible, and detail-oriented. We are a growing company that requires some extra attention and they have always taken care of us.
My company has used Steph's Bookkeeping for many years. They take the stress & time of bookkeeping off our plates so we can focus on serving our customers! 🙂 They are a professional, kind & competent business & we highly recommend them!
How to Know Which Way to File
Tax terms can be overwhelming for people outside the financial industry. We simplify the process to ensure you understand which taxes our team can file and if you qualify under one of these categories. Steph’s Bookkeeping can serve the following tax areas.
Personal Tax Prep
An individual is a single person — or a married couple — living in the United States. These people will need to file individual tax returns. These forms include information about all of the taxable income you made over the past year.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) uses the tax forms you fill out to determine how much you owe in taxes. Sometimes your taxes are overpaid, which is when you will instead receive a tax return of the excess money taken from your earnings.
Sole Proprietor Tax Prep
A sole proprietor operates a one-person business, so they have to file different taxes than a standard individual. The one-person business will not be registered as an LLC or corporation.
Like any other person in the United States, you need to report the income and losses accrued by your business. The information about your one-person business’ profits and losses goes on a Schedule C — the Profit or Loss From a Business form. You submit this part along with your individual 1040 tax form.
Sole proprietors have more to keep track of throughout the year because they do not have an employer withholding taxes from their paychecks. You will need to pay estimated taxes and self-employment taxes, including contributions to Medicare and Social Security.
LLC Tax Prep
A Limited Liability Company (LLC) will have different regulations by state. We provide LLC tax services for select clients in Illinois. To qualify for our tax services, the LLC must elect to not be considered a corporation and file a Schedule C form.
