Get to know KFNBEFORE WE TALK
A few things
you might be
wondering.
Do you work with clients outside Illinois?
Yes. KFN works virtually with individuals and businesses nationwide. We discuss the states and filing requirements relevant to your situation when defining the engagement.
Can you help with both personal and business taxes?
Yes. We offer individual and business tax preparation and planning. Your consultation helps us understand how your personal and business finances connect.
What’s the difference between bookkeeping and CFO support?
Bookkeeping organizes your financial records. CFO support uses those records to assess performance, build forecasts and support business decisions. We can discuss either service or a coordinated engagement.
How much will my engagement cost?
Fees depend on the services, scope and complexity of the work. We discuss your needs and provide a quote before the engagement begins.
How should I share tax documents?
We provide secure document-sharing instructions during onboarding. Please do not send Social Security numbers or tax documents through a general website inquiry.
