Heard and Associates

Heard and Associates LLC is a tax preparation, accounting and bookkeeping firm with offices in Hyde Park, Chicago and Olympia Fields, Illinois, serving individuals, small businesses and nonprofits in person and virtually across the United States. Founded in 2011 by Darrel Heard, the firm is built around personal service, so clients always know who is handling their file and can always reach that person.

Most clients come to us for a tax return done right, books that have fallen behind, or a letter from the IRS or Illinois Department of Revenue that needs a calm, informed response. We handle all three, then stay involved year-round so tax planning happens before December 31st, not after.

Our services include individual and business tax preparation for S-corps, partnerships, C-corps, trusts and estates, tax planning and advisory, IRS representation, unfiled and amended returns, monthly bookkeeping and cleanup, QuickBooks support, payroll and sales tax filing, business formation for LLCs, PLLCs, S-corp elections and nonprofits, and Form 990 filing. Every return is prepared, reviewed and walked through with the client before it is filed, which is why Heard and Associates is rated 5.0 stars by more than 100 clients on Google.
