Trusts & Estates

Unique Expertise, Normally Found Only in Much Larger CPA Firms

Outside of the large national and regional firms, most CPA firms do only a handful of trust and estate tax returns every year. Experience is vital in trusts and estates because errors made in preparing estate and trust tax returns can last for generations. Ask the important question of your CPA, “how many trust and estate tax returns do you prepare every year?” If it is a few, seek other support. Our firm prepares hundreds of trust and estate tax returns every year.

Expertise at Reasonable Fees

As a mid-sized CPA firm, we have a reasonable fee structure. Estates and trusts are an area that is core to our roots. Our managing partner, Greg Dowell, helped run the trust and estate tax preparation and compliance practice at the historic Chicago law firm of Wilson & McIlvaine. We continue to expand our focus on this work today, and hone our skills, from hosting in-house seminars to placing staff members on the Northwest Suburban Estate Planning Council.

Working with Your Advisors

Professional teamwork is important. Executors, beneficiaries, attorneys, and investment advisors look to us for fiduciary income tax and estate tax planning and preparation and we work in collaboration with them.

Our experience will help guide you through the difficult task of calculating and reporting trust income to beneficiaries. We will work with you to interpret and understand the income and estate tax consequences at death.
