We don't just work here. We live here, too.

It’s our absolute pleasure for Kaizen CPAs to serve the people and small businesses of Antioch, Illinois, with CPA services for Lake County and the surrounding areas. In 1972, we opened our first CPA office in Antioch, but our relationship with the businesses there goes back even further. Since 1964, we’ve worked with folks to provide CPA services in Antioch, Lake Villa, Libertyville, Fox Lake, Spring Grove, Waukegan, and more.

For small businesses, it’s more than just business growth. It’s the relationships that make a business great. It’s about building a community together. Nowhere is that more evident than Antioch, a great town with so many burgeoning small businesses.

You don't have to do it all alone.

Most small business owners in Kenosha have to learn their craft, trade, and profession “on the job.” In other words, they learned from working in the business. Often, with 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.

We provide folks in the Kenosha area with proactive advice to keep them informed and give them the best chance of success. We partner with you to keep you inspired along your journey. Our clients in Kenosha tell us our education and guidance provide the kind of confidence that allows them to sleep better at night. That’s priceless.

It has been a wonderful experience since the beginning. We feel that we have a true partnership. They care about the well-being of our business and keep us up to date on all changes that affect us. Communicating with them is excellent. They are always super responsive and always get our work done in a timely manner. The reporting is superb, and every person that we have dealt with has been great.

Kelley Landscape and Patio have been using Kaizen CPAs for many years. It's been great having a partner that knows all the ins and outs of Federal and State tax laws. They help me strategize and plan capital expenditures, handle my payroll, file my taxes, and handle all the annoying stuff so I can focus on designing and building awesome backyards. Thanks, Eric for all your help and support!
