We just transitioned from a prior bookkeeper to Steph's Bookkeeping Service and found the experience very good. Stephanie cleaned up our 2023 books quickly and professionally, took over payroll and estimated tax submittals with ease. We look forward to working closely with Stephanie as we continue to grow.
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. As a small business owner, the service provided by Steph and her team is beyond helpful. It allows me to focus on the day-to-day operations knowing that the accounting is being managed by a professional. It's one less thing that I have to do at the end of the month. If you're a small business owner, then you understand the value of that time savings.Any questions I have had over the years are answered in a reasonable amount of time & in a professional manner. You will not regret hiring this company to help manage your books. This is money well spent in my opinion.
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.
Why Choose Steph’s Bookkeeping?
We can help small businesses, the self-employed, rental property owners, and any individual filer who wants help. If you need tax services and aren’t sure if either of our packages matches your exact needs, reach out to see if our team can help you with custom services and pricing.

Choose a Professional for Accurate Preparation
Tax forms for self-employed individuals or those operating a small business can be confusing. Life factors such as getting married, real estate transactions and starting a business can impact the number of forms and information necessary. The team at Steph’s Bookkeeping can help you navigate these steps to ensure you’re ready to file.
