Website: https://stephsbooks.com
Phone: (815) 271-5646
Steph’s Books is an outsourced bookkeeping firm that serves businesses in Naperville, Illinois and the surrounding western suburbs. According to its website, the firm is headquartered in McHenry, Illinois, about 60 miles north of Naperville, and it works with Naperville clients remotely through QuickBooks Online and secure cloud tools rather than from a local Naperville office. The firm’s address is listed as 4318 W Crystal Lake Rd, Suite J, McHenry, IL 60050, and it states that the same cloud-based approach serves clients across the country. Naperville is one of the areas the firm specifically lists as serving.
The firm focuses on outsourced bookkeeping for professional services firms and growing businesses. Its website states that it has more than 25 years of experience, has served over 300 clients, and that its founder, Stephanie, holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting and is a QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor. The firm describes delivering accurate monthly financials, with bank and credit card accounts reconciled monthly and financial statements such as the profit and loss statement, balance sheet, and cash flow report delivered by the 7th of the following month for Naperville clients.
The firm’s services include monthly bookkeeping with transaction classification and financial statements, bank reconciliation, payroll processing with Illinois tax compliance and year-end W-2s, accounts receivable and payable management covering invoicing, payment tracking, vendor bill entry, collections, and aging reports, and catch-up bookkeeping for businesses that are months or years behind. The website states that catch-up work brings books current in roughly two to six weeks. The firm also offers QuickBooks Online setup, training, and management, and it prepares tax-ready year-end packages for a client’s CPA, noting that it does not position itself as the filing tax preparer but provides organized financials for filing.
Steph’s Books describes serving several industries in Naperville and the western suburbs. These include professional services such as law firms, consulting companies, marketing agencies, and financial advisory firms; technology companies; medical and dental practices; real estate and property management; restaurants and retail; and contractors. The website specifically lists construction, HVAC, and home services companies serving DuPage County among the contractor clients it works with, which supports a home-service and trades focus. For law firms, the firm references IOLTA trust account compliance, matter-based revenue tracking, and partner distribution reporting, and for property management it references per-property income and expense tracking, owner statements, and maintenance cost categorization.
The firm presents its outsourced model as a cost comparison against hiring in-house. Its website states that a full-time bookkeeper in Naperville costs roughly $48,000 to $62,000 per year in salary alone, and that total costs can exceed $70,000 annually once benefits, payroll taxes, and office space are included. By comparison, the firm states that its outsourced bookkeeping starts at $350 per month, that most Naperville professional services firms pay between $625 and $1,500 per month, and that clients save 40 to 60 percent compared with hiring in-house. The website also notes that the firm serves professional services firms with roughly $1 million to $10 million in revenue.
The firm outlines a three-step process: a free assessment with a custom quote, onboarding within about two weeks that includes connecting to a client’s QuickBooks, cleaning up any backlog, and configuring the chart of accounts, and then ongoing monthly closes with financial reports. It also references areas served that include Aurora, Lisle, Wheaton, Bolingbrook, and Downers Grove, among other communities.
Although it is based in McHenry, Steph’s Books presents itself as serving Naperville businesses throughout the city and the western suburbs through its remote, cloud-based model. Prospective clients can request a quote or a free assessment through the website or by phone at (815) 271-5646.
Chicago Accounting Professionals – Naperville, IL #
Website: https://www.chicagoaccountingprofessionals.com
Phone: (312) 429-5975
The directory places this entry under Naperville, but the firm’s own website tells a clear location story that should be stated up front. Chicago Accounting Professionals, which the site also presents as BASCO Accounting LLC, gives its address as 1121 W. Belmont Ave, Suite 1, Chicago, IL 60657, and shows no separate Naperville office. Naperville-area clients are therefore served from the firm’s Chicago base rather than from a local Naperville address. With that established, the rest of the listing describes a full-service accounting, bookkeeping, and tax practice that the website characterizes as affordable, experienced, and friendly, with a free initial consultation on offer.
The firm sorts its offerings into three areas: individuals, businesses, and tax. Individuals are served with estate and trust tax services, estate planning, elder care, individual tax preparation, personal financial planning, and retirement planning. Business clients can draw on bookkeeping services, small business accounting, cash flow management, business advisory services, business valuation, internal controls, new business formation, part-time CFO services, payroll, payroll tax problems, strategic business planning, and succession planning. The breadth here suggests the firm supports both routine financial recordkeeping and reporting and the periodic filings a business needs.
Resources are a notable element of the website, and they extend well beyond the core service descriptions. The firm publishes financial calculators, among them a 1040 tax calculator, and offers guides on business strategies, investment strategies, life events, tax strategies for business owners, and tax strategies for individuals. A frequently asked questions section, a blog, and COVID-19 resources for taxpayers are available, as are About, Our Values, and employment pages that give background on the practice. A monthly newsletter provides timely articles for clients pursuing their financial goals.
Tax services are deep on this site. Beyond tax preparation and tax planning, the firm lists a long roster of tax-problem resolution work: IRS audit representation, non-filed tax returns, back taxes owed, payroll tax problems, IRS liens, IRS levies, IRS wage garnishment, IRS seizures, IRS payment plans, offers in compromise, tax relief, bankruptcy, and innocent spouse relief. Expatriate tax services appear as well. A tax center gathers practical tools, including refund tracking, tax due dates, tax rates, IRS and state tax forms, and a record retention guide.
For technology, the firm offers QuickBooks setup, QuickBooks training, and a QuickTune-up, supported by reference pages under headings such as Why QuickBooks and Buy QuickBooks and Save. The website states that its client portal protects users with what it calls 14 layers of security and that a secure file transfer tool is available for sending documents.
Contractors and the building trades receive their own page on the site, which reflects a home-service and contractor orientation. The firm states that the construction industry faces challenges many other industries do not, including insurance and bonding requirements, labor issues, and a competitive bidding process that changes from contract to contract. It works, according to the site, with construction management firms, general contractors, subcontractors, residential developers, and construction-related trades, and it maintains relationships with third-party professionals such as real estate professionals, attorneys, and bankers to help prepare the financial documents needed to secure financing from creditors, banks, suppliers, and bonding companies. The construction accounting services it lists include financial statement reviews, compilations, and audits; review and implementation of financial reporting systems; review of internal project controls; contractor dispute resolution; construction audits; tax return preparation; payroll; and business valuation and succession planning. Dentists are also named among the industries served.
In closing, it bears repeating that the source locates this firm in Chicago, Illinois, and shows it serving Naperville-area clients from its Belmont Avenue office rather than from a Naperville location. The firm frames its mission as helping clients secure a sound financial future. Prospective clients can call (312) 429-5975 or use the contact information published on the website, which also lists a fax number and an email address for general inquiries.
