A family tradition since 1967

What started nearly six decades ago has become a Channahon institution. Michael R. Bement Jr. carries forward a family legacy built on a simple idea: treat every client like a neighbor, because they are one. A member of the National Society of Tax Professionals (NSTP), practicing under the NSTP Code of Ethics and Rules.

What NSTP membership means for you

The National Society of Tax Professionals is a nonprofit professional society founded in 1985. Its Code of Ethics requires members to pursue continuing education in federal taxation, keep client information confidential, comply with IRS preparer regulations, and promptly tell clients if an error or omission is ever found. That's the standard your return is prepared to.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an appointment?
Appointments are recommended, especially during tax season (January through April), so we can give you our full attention. Call us to schedule a time that works for you. Walk-ins are welcome when availability allows.
How much does tax preparation cost?
Fees depend on the complexity of your return. A straightforward personal return costs less than a business or multi-entity filing. We'll give you a clear estimate before we begin — no surprises.
Can you help with IRS notices or past-due returns?
Yes. If you've received a letter from the IRS or have unfiled returns from previous years, we can help you get back on track. This is exactly the kind of situation where working with a real person makes all the difference.
Do you offer electronic filing?
Yes. We e-file both federal and Illinois state returns, which means faster processing and faster refunds compared to paper filing.
What types of returns do you prepare?
Personal (1040), small business (Schedule C), LLC, S-Corp (1120-S), C-Corp (1120), partnership (1065), and nonprofit (990) returns. If you're not sure which applies to you, just ask — we'll point you in the right direction.
Are you available outside of tax season?
Absolutely. We're open Tuesday through Saturday, year-round. Whether you need help with an amended return, tax planning, or just have a question — we're here.
How do I send you my tax documents?
Upload them through our secure client portal — from a computer, or by snapping photos with the mobile app. Please don't send Social Security numbers or tax documents by email; it isn't a secure channel. You're also always welcome to bring paper copies to your appointment.
