I am re-writing my review, I've been coming to see Jim and Russell since 2004 and without a doubt this is the best tax and accounting firm in the Midwest by far. Jim Barr is a CPA, EA, ABA, ATA, ATP, & a AFSP, which basically means he's ridiculously smart and does taxes better than anyone in the country. Broadway & Belmont is not easy for me to get to, it is so worth the drive and I literally look forward to getting my taxes done for the past 16 years same location, non corp, relaxed atmosphere, I cannot go on enough on how incredible this place is. 50 stars on a 5 star scale. I love you Jim, Russell, and Chris. ETP!!

Going to Jim (also George) for years. Always get a refund. Very pleasant to work with and treats you like family. I would recommend this service. I used to use a similarly named tax service in Lakeview, but one time I had to visit the owner's Barrington office...not only was he condescending but offered some transphobic opinions of his clients in Lakeview. Then after telling me repeatedly he did not need a certain form, wound up 3 days from filing that I had to produce the form and moreover drive out to the far suburbs to give it to him and then he pretended it was my fault. (You know who you are, BV) Jim's not like that. Very gay-friendly and treats everyone equally....read full review
