Approachable. Reliable.

Actually Understandable

We believe:

  • You shouldn’t need a finance degree to understand your own books.

  • Questions deserve real answers (not eye rolls).

  • Your accountant should feel like a partner, not a judge.

  • And you deserve support that’s built for you — not a cookie-cutter spreadsheet.

We started Midwest Accounting & Tax with a simple mission:

Make money make sense for real people

Too many people feel overwhelmed, ashamed, or just plain confused when it comes to bookkeeping, accounting, and taxes. We’re here to change that — one person at a time.

We’re Not Just Number People. We’re People People.

At the end of the day, we don’t just care about your balance sheet.
We care about your stress levels. Your confidence. Your big-picture goals.

Whether you’re running a side hustle, a solo business, or a growing team — we meet you where you are, explain things like a real human, and help you make smart, informed decisions with your money.

We don’t believe in financial shame. We believe in financial clarity.

We’ve been friends since 2nd grade – back when homework was done in pencil, communication meant passing notes, and our idea of budgeting was deciding between a Ring Pop or a pack of Gushers. Growing up in the 90s, we navigated childhood side by side, and that friendship has evolved into a strong foundation of trust, collaboration, and shared values.

Now as adults, we’ve taken that lifelong connection and channeled it into building an accounting and tax practice designed to serve individuals and small businesses with clarity, integrity, and a little personality. With decades of friendship behind us and professional experience to match, we understand the value of long-term relationships – whether it's between friends or with clients.

By focusing on paperless and cloud-based solutions, we’re here to make accounting approachable, tax season less stressful, and to prove that numbers don’t have to be intimidating.
