Professional Services Bookkeeping FAQ.

Yes. Professional Services is one of our focus areas, and we serve Waukegan and all of Lake County 100% remotely — clean monthly financials and Illinois sales-tax and Personal Property Replacement Tax-ready records.
Illinois doesn't tax most professional services, but your firm still owes the Personal Property Replacement Tax on net income (1.5% for pass-throughs, 2.5% for corporations) — and Chicago firms buying software or cloud tools pay the 15% Personal Property Lease Transaction Tax. We keep your books and PPRT clean. On top of that, Illinois has a flat 4.95% state income tax, and we keep your records ready for it.
