After being burned badly from H&R Block, I sought out a certified tax consultant and was referred…read moreto Nick Scannicchio.  Unlike TurboTax and H&R Block, Nick is a CPA that has been doing tax for over 30 years. Taxes are not easy and the lingo is as difficult as reading legal and insurance documents. This is why it has been so helpful to connect with a person live that knows what they are doing. Nick has been a pleasure to work with and has helped to correct the damages left by H&R Block. He also helped provide guidance on ways to increase our take home per paycheck by monitoring our pay stubs. Nick and Jan are very personable and I love his humor - he still remembers details about our family and financial situation as a good tax consultant should. This is our fourth year working with Nick and I would highly recommend him. I can assure you that it is worth paying for his service over TurboTax and his rate is more reasonable than H&R Block.

If you are looking for a reliable, no-nonsense CPA in the Portage Park/Irving Park area, John…read moreGriffin is the person to see. Navigating small business taxes in Chicago can be a headache, but John makes the entire process feel manageable and transparent. The Experience John is incredibly professional but also very personable. Unlike some of the larger, impersonal firms, he actually takes the time to listen to your specific financial situation. He's been in the neighborhood for a long time and clearly knows the ins and outs of both Illinois and federal tax laws. Why I Recommend Him: Responsiveness: He is great about returning calls and emails, even during the peak of tax season. You never feel like just another file on a desk. Accuracy & Insight: He doesn't just "plug in numbers." He looks for proactive ways to help you save on taxes and plan for the next year. Fair Pricing: His fees are very reasonable for the level of expertise and personal attention you receive. Pro Tip His office is conveniently located on Irving Park Road. There is usually street parking available right out front, but if you're coming during a busy weekday, give yourself a few extra minutes to find a spot.

Trying to navigate all the forms and figure out which tax exemptions I qualify for on my own would be a headache. But knowing I can count on them to handle everything (while staying organized, communicative, and super knowledgeable whenever I have questions) gives me total peace of mind. As soon as I submit my documents each year, I know I'm in good hands. I really appreciate all the hard work you all do!

The Bottom Line - Professional, Timely and Extremely Good Customer Service…read more The Experience- I'm a small business owner that needed someone to not only help me better understand all of my options for Tax Preparation but also needed help lifting the load of catching up on several years of filling. Osaghae Associated very plainly laid out a game plan to complete the work, understood how to best help me personally and then in a very timely manner completed the work. I saved a lot of time and worry by allowing professionals to take care of this work for me so that I can do the things that operate my business. 10/10 I will be using them in all tax and consulting services moving forward!

If you are looking for someone you can trust, look no further. His charges are quite reasonable too.

But James Flannery seems like a no nonsense kinda guy who's knowledgeable and personable at the same time. Compared to other tax preparers who take advantage of tax season to overcharge, (H&R highway robbers) Jim's fees are very reasonable. He's definitely a keeper! Highly recommend.

I sat waiting to log onto our scheduled meeting, and no one *ever* came. I called the office with no answer and no reply.

I *NEVER* received a call back to apologize or reschedule. No concern at all. Really horrible experience.
