Bookkeeping, payroll, and tax preparation for individuals and businesses, handled directly by a CPA with over 30 years of experience — no call center, no hand-offs.
About the firm
Darren R. Kenshalo has been practicing as a Certified Public Accountant for more than thirty years, working directly with individuals and small businesses throughout Wayne City and the surrounding area. He is licensed in Illinois and is a member of the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA).
The practice is built around a simple idea: you should be able to sit down with the person doing your books, ask a plain question, and get a plain answer. There's no call center and no rotating cast of preparers — just one CPA who knows your file and answers the phone himself.
Whether you need your books kept current month to month, payroll run on time, or a return filed correctly the first time, the goal is the same: accurate work, done on schedule, explained in terms that make sense.
Services
Each of these can stand alone or work together, depending on what your business or your return actually needs.
Ongoing recordkeeping for small businesses — accounts kept current, reconciled, and ready whenever you need them, whether that's for a loan application or your own peace of mind.
Payroll processing and filings handled on schedule, so your employees are paid correctly and your withholding obligations are met without you tracking the deadlines yourself.
Personal income tax returns prepared and filed accurately, with a real conversation beforehand about what changed in your year and what it means for your return.
Business returns for sole proprietors, partnerships, and corporations, prepared by someone who already knows your books — not a stranger seeing your numbers for the first time in March.
Why clients stay
The person who signs your return is the person who prepared it, start to finish, every year.
Based in Wayne City and familiar with the tax situations common to businesses and families in this area.
Thirty-plus years of returns and tax-law changes — experience that shows up as fewer surprises for you.
Tax season fills up quickly. If you know you'll need help this year, it's worth calling early to get on the schedule.
