As a local CPA firm serving the greater Chicago area, our firm has established an outstanding reputation as a source for accounting, tax and business consulting services. Certain qualities about our firm allow us to attain and maintain our reputation.

 

A truly local firm

We are truly a local, Chicagoland CPA firm. Our professionals have a long history in greater Chicago community. I, for one, was born and raised in the Chicagoland area and attended Trinity Christian College in nearby Palos Heights, Illinois.  Currently I reside in LaGrange, Illinois with my wife and son. My accounting career has included stays at firms with single office locations in Chicago as well as a large national CPA firm. My client work has almost entirely been with Chicago area clients. Our staff has similar backgrounds and ties to the Chicago community.

 

Convenient locations

Our Chicago tax and accounting office is based at 111 West Jackson in the Chicago Loop but we have satellite offices located in other Chicago neighborhoods as well suburban locations. We welcome client office visits; it often helps to focus on financial matters away from the workplace. Of course, we’re set up with state-of-the-art secure technology and can conduct most all services using these online capabilities. Add in mobile phones and the Internet, and we’ve got you covered in the convenience department.

 

Fees with no surprises

We want to be your trusted advisor and business partner. In that spirit, we provide all-inclusive, upfront fee quotes for our clients.  You will know in advance the exact services and the fees for them. Our service fee quote includes phone calls and email communications between us. Our clients don’t live in fear of getting an unexpected invoice whether for services not previously discussed and approved or for a 5-minute phone call. 

 

Small but mighty

We do not aspire to be the largest CPA firm in Chicago, but we do aspire to deliver services that rival the largest firms. We like to say that, “Bovard LLC offers large firm expertise at small firm prices.” Feedback from our clients indicates they find us to be atypical in a good way: we consistently exceed their expectations.

 

Quality of service

I don’t imagine our competitors say that they offer mediocre quality services. I’m sure they believe their service quality is high.  Nonetheless, we believe we do a better job of proving quality of service. For example, we live by a rule that says we will return all client calls and emails by the end of the work day in which they were received. We have other quality-related guidelines, too, and I invite you to become a client and experience our level of service (and expertise) first-hand.

 

If you’ve read this entire message, thank you. If you’re a current client, thank you for choosing Bovard LLC. If you’re thinking of retaining a CPA firm for your organization, well, why not just pick up the phone or shoot me an email. We’d be honored to be your trusted accountant and business advisor.

 

Sincerely,

John Bovard, CPA
