Tax Preparations in Evanston

“A couple of years ago I came to Cole Tax Consulting because I was in, to put it lightly, quite a pickle. I was in major debt to the IRS because I didn’t know how to properly handle my finances when I opened my own business. Luckily my best friend referred me to Tony. I was so embarrassed at first to talk to anyone about the predicament I was in but Tony had absolutely no judgement and patiently and gracefully explained how he has helped others in even worse situations. He assured me that I was going to be ok. After reviewing my case, he became my liaison to the IRS, which took a lot of stress off me. Long story short, we reviewed my finances together and he made an Offer In Compromise to the IRS. The process was long but on my end painless, as Tony handled all of the back-and-forth with the IRS and kept me posted every single step of the way. In the end he saved me roughly $18K. Eighteen thousand dollars of debt - gone! I couldn’t even dream of that kind of relief. The settlement he orchestrated saved me and I will forever be grateful and in awe. I still come to Tony every tax season and it’s such a relief to work with him every time. I never thought I would see a tax refund ever again but I just cashed my first one in 7 years. If you are in a similar situation to the one I was in, you can’t afford not to hire his expertise. Tony is trustworthy, knowledgeable and kind, and you will be so glad to have him on your side.“

“As a new business owner, I reached out to Amy for tax advise. She responded very quickly and clearly answered my questions. I will definitely work with again.“

“Rich and Kathy are terrific and easy to work with and real accounting pros. Over the past 20 years I've worked with several accounting firms for my business and started working with Yamada & Associates about a year ago. They are by far the best accountants I've worked with to date. They are patient, careful, answer all of your questions with expert advice, offer fair pricing, and are a pleasure to interact with when sorting through tedious tax and accounting issues. I process the payroll taxes for my S-corp and they have been incredibly helpful in offering advice and teaching me what I need to know to successfully manage this process. I have also been impressed with their availability and dedication to returning calls and emails. They have a beautiful office located in downtown Evanston near the CTA and Metra, and easy street parking as well.“
