Tax Counsel for Lincolnshire and Buffalo Grove

Lincolnshire has grown into one of the area’s leading corporate addresses, with established neighborhoods along the Des Plaines River. Buffalo Grove, long known as a family-friendly bedroom community, is steadily moving upscale, and its business parks are home to a wide range of growing companies.

William D. Briggs has prepared returns and advised taxpayers across the North Shore and Lake County for four decades.

Personal Tax Returns, Prepared With Care

Two careers, a mortgage, investments and children add up to a return with more moving parts than most people want to manage alone.

Bill Briggs prepares each return personally, from your original documents, checking every figure against its source. He doesn’t take the software’s answer on faith. When the forms lag behind current law, he finds the gap and corrects it.

New to the Area?

Many Lincolnshire and Buffalo Grove families arrive through a corporate relocation. The first year after a move often means returns in two states, relocation benefits to sort out and withholding to get right in a new state.

Multi-state returns are routine work for us. With clients across the country and four decades steeped in Illinois tax law, we make sure your first Illinois return is a clean one.

Business Returns and Financial Statements

For owners in the area’s office and business parks, we prepare business returns and the financial statements banks and partners expect. Working from your bookkeeper’s records, we provide straightforward statements or full compilations, depending on your lender’s requirements.

Growing, Selling or Stepping Back

Whether a company is expanding, taking on a partner or preparing for a sale, each decision changes the tax picture. We help owners see the consequences before they commit.

How We Work

We meet by phone, Zoom or Teams, whichever suits you, and all meetings are by appointment only. Documents are exchanged by secure arrangement to protect each client’s privacy.
