Most small business owners in Lake Zurich have to learn their craft, trade, and profession “on the job.” In other words, they learned from working in the business. In most small businesses, the owner is the CEO, CFO, HR chief, sales team, and custodian. Many small business owners don’t know how to minimize their taxes or how to best structure their companies - and many don’t handle cash flow well either.

Working with James Hamlin has been the best experience with any accountant we've ever worked with. Our accountant, Rick, always has our best interest at heart. He acts as a great financial partner and is a joy to work with. The rest of the crew in the Lake Zurich office has been great any time we've gone in to meet. We highly recommend James Hamlin!
