About Us
Thank you for viewing our website. My name is Gregory Ganster, CPA, and my wife, Linda Ganster, is an Attorney. Both of us are also Real Estate Brokers. We established our tax and accounting business in 1996, and our professional tax experience began in 1990.
We strive to give our clients the most benefit for their fee, which normally consists of us preparing the tax return at an interactive meeting with the client. By establishing a dialogue, asking questions, and listening, we are often able to find deductions that would otherwise be overlooked. More often than not, we can save you enough money to pay our fee.
Most CPA firms ask the client to drop off the information for their tax return, and then the return is prepared by back-room office personnel, from a questionnaire filled out by the client. There is little or no interaction, and the tax return may or may not be reviewed by a CPA before it is handed back to the client, usually with a hefty fee.
The large national tax services prepare the tax return in front of the client, but there is no guarantee that the taxpreparer will be competent or experienced, or that you will get the same one next year. Generally, the office is not open year-round and no one from the office is available for questions after the tax season. The fee is usually higher also.
We feel that we offer a better and more reasonably priced alternative to either of the above scenarios. Our special price of $160, for first-time clients, reflects a discount of $30 off of our regular low price. The price includes up to a one-hour appointment, and free electronic filing of the returns. We can normally complete the Federal and Illinois 1040s, itemized deductions on Schedule A, and a few other items within the hour. We do not charge by the form. However, there is an additional charge for extra time or more complex issues. Less complicated returns start at $85 and receive $15 off.
