I have been a client of Vimlan tax services since 2002. Vimal and Milan continue to offer excellent Tax, accounting, payroll and financial planning services. I have grown with their practice and value their advice to keep my business efficient and profitable. They have helped me scale my business up and customize services to keep up with my changing needs. I would highly recommend their services, especially since you can get all your financial needs taken care of under one office.
I have been using Vimlan Tax for 10+ years now and they've been absolutely fantastic! Both Vimal and Milan are very thorough in their work and have vast knowledge on the tax rules and regulations for both personal and corporate returns. I recently started my own business a few years ago and Vimal was very helpful in providing me with guidance to setup my new business, as well as, the details of the tax implications of my new business. In addition, Vimlan Tax has recently started assisting their customers
I have been using Vimlan Tax every since I moved to Chicago back in 2011. They are extremely professional and very personable. After I got married, they were able to help us go through all our options, including advice on financial planning (Roth, etc). They have really taken the stress out of tax season for my wife and I. From top to bottom, their customer service is by far one of the best out there. With all the different services out there, I know we have made the right choice! I have and will continue t
I highly recommend Vimlan Tax Services. They are extremely efficient, professional, and very knowledgeable. Vimal helped me set up my corporation just recently. Not only did he take me through all the steps, but he also explained what each step was and made sure I fully understood the process. Vimal is always available to me when I need advice on taxes, accounting, or any other financial services.
After one phone call to see if they are accepting new individual clients (sadly in my case they are not), I could tell Vimlan is very personable, thorough, and looking out for each person. I?m not even a client and he took a little time to be open, honest, and steer me in a direction to save money and, as he said, ?stay strong and sharp? by continuing to learn about tax preparation? very encouraging and helpful!
I have been with Vimlan Tax since 2004 (15 years). They have helped me tremendously with all my business and personal financial needs. I also utilize their financial planning services. They have helped me plan for my children?s college, retirement, budgeting and over all savings. I am in a much better place due to the efforts of their entire team. Vimal and Milan are very easy to talk to and you can tell they genuinely want to help you and are looking out for your best interest. I would highly recomm
Have been working with Vimal over past 6-7 years. Its been amazing experience to meet him during tax season as the quality of knowledge shared by Vimal, Milan & his team with me is just outstanding! I have been recommending Vimlan Tax Services to all my family & friends.
I?ve been working with Vimal and the Vimlan team for just under a year now and I?m truly grateful to have been introduced to their firm. They are one of the most proactive firms when it comes to tax planning and it shows come April each and every year. If you are working with a firm who has not mentioned any advanced planning strategies such as Captive Insurance, Cost Segregation, Premium Financing, 401h plans, etc. Call Vimlan Tax Services for a tax review!
I highly recommend Vimlan tax services for all your tax needs. We use them for our personal and business tax needs including payroll and tax preparation. They are extremely affordable and have outstanding customer service. Their response time is second to none to any tax services company out there. I will continue to be a Vimlan customer for the years ahead.
I've been with Vimlan Tax since 2005 when I started out of college on my first business. I knew very little about the Accounting and Taxation side of owning your own small business. Luckily, Vimal spend countless hours with me explaining in detail not only the what, but also the why and the hows as well. Vimal is great at educating his clients and empowering them so that they don't feel helpless when it comes to starting and maintaining a small business. Vimal has often been available to me even in the
Vimlan Tax has been my person and professional accounting service for the last 40 years - between me and my family. They have and will continue to provide those services for years to come. Trust them and trust the process - you can't go wrong.
I usually don't write reviews but the "A" class service provided by the experts at Vimlan is beyond words. They worked on a very unique case like mine. He helped us setup a complicated organization which did not just have multiple partners and was not only involved in business in USA but also involved some international paperwork. Vimal gave us a free consultation for over 1 hour over the phone without any obligations to pursue his services. Also, he was always available either by phone or emails for any q
Where do I even begin ? I am an immigrant and came to this country as a student 20 years ago. I have been using Vimlan every single year. First it was the dad, then it was Vimal for our accounting needs and Milan for our investment management & life insurance needs. They are young, driven, knowledgeable, accurate, caring and punctual. When I was a student, it was very important for my accountant to understand how the tax structure works for a student but also know the provisions for someone on a visa. After
I've been with Vimlan Tax Services for the last 2 years. They are helping me setup my new small business venture. Very patient, diligent and sincere. I'd highly recommend them.
I have been going to Vimal Madhani - E.A (Enrolled Agent) with Vimlan Tax Services for years now. I have learned and grown so much in terms of how to better run my business in the most financially efficient and profitable way for both my business as a REALTOR as well as a real estate investor. I have worked with a couple of different tax professionals throughout the years but I was never challenged to think outside the box or to re-evaluate my business to streamline and maximize profits. I highly recommend
Exceptional, professional service with diligence, honesty and intergrity. My husband and I have been clients of Vimal Madhani at Vimlan Tax Services LLC for 10 years. Vimal not only does our taxes, but he gives us financial advice and patiently answers all our questions. If we are missing pertinent tax documents, he or his office staff will notify us immediately. Highly recommend Vimlan Tax Services, LLC!!
My husband and I have always had a great experience working with Vimlan Tax. Both Vimal and Milan are exceedingly professional, helpful, thorough and go out of their way for their clients. I would highly recommend Vimlan Tax Services.
I have been working with Vimal for about 3 years now. He helped me set up my S. Corp and IRA. He has made the process of doing taxes every year and planning for retirement much easier. He is very professional, open to answering any questions/concerns, gets back to you in a timely manner, and always has the best advice. Highly recommend him!
I recently hired Vimal to take over my business accounting and in a short 6 months I truly can't imagine how we managed our books without him. Not only from an accounting and tax reporting standpoint but from a financial consulting standpoint. His patience, ideas, guidance and overall care for his clients allow me to feel beyond confident in all areas of finance. I feel confident that my business will continue to grow at a more rapid rate because of Vimal and his team.
I highly recommend Vimlan tax services. Vimal helped me set up a dual state corporation and also a solo 401k. The whole process was very easy thanks to Vimal. They also do my payroll and this gives me more time to do my work. They are very easy to work with and get the job done the right way. Go see them if you have any needs for business or tax help. They are by far the best in what they do!
I have been getting my tax services at Vimlan for many years. Vimal is very professional and abreast with tax laws. Taxes are done in a very timely manner. The costs are very reasonable and better than other firms.
Started my own business recently. With a lot of unknowns, Vimal and Milan were terrific in walking me through the process of what I should expect, what my tax liability would be, and what I can write-off as a business expense. They also assisted me in setting up payroll and a 401k plan. I'm grateful for all the one on one attention and time they have put in to help ease the transition into being a small business owner.
Vimlan tax was great at helping my small business get set up and operational very efficiently. The broad business and tax expertise along with amazing personal service is why I won't go with anyone else. Keep up the great work!!
I decided to do my taxes here this year because of the great reviews that were posted. Aside from getting my taxes done, I learned that they have many more services to offer. I'm a part time realtor and learned quite a bit from Vimal in order to be more efficient with the financial aspect of my business. He is very honest, personable and professional. Overall, I had a great experience and would highly recommend them.
I have been With Vimlan tax services since 2008 ! They have excellent staff and great service , they take care of each clients well . Vimal and Milan are great people to have on your side !
Vimal is a top notch accountant. He is smart and awesome at what he does. He's great at answering all of my questions and he always finds time for me when I'm confused about something. He's a great accountant, you should be using him if you're not already.
Vimal and Milan are amazing. They not only do taxes, but offer consulting. They open and maintain retirement plans such as 401K, IRAs and Pension plans. Their staff is very kind, helpful and knowledgeable. If you have these needs or complex cases, this is the firm for you.
I have been going to Vimlan Tax for over a decade. I have previously used 4 other services (one in California, and three in the Chicago suburbs). Heard about them from another physician who I work with. As a physician, they are, by far, the most effective, cheapest (with others, used to pay in the thousands for my returns and now pay a few hundred!!!!!) and pay most attention to the details relevant in for tax returns in my specialty. My previous tax accountants did not have the experience to optimize my r
Had some big tax problems, and Vimal was very professional and we took care of the problem quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend this service. Much more than I can say for optima, who wanted to charge me 5 grand for something that took about 3 hours total to complete. Thank you Vimlan Tax Services!
I highly recommend working with Vimal, he?s one of the most knowledgeable and responsive EA that I?ve ever worked with. Vimal always gives the right advice and steers me into the best fit plan for me & my business. He?s an expert in personal and business returns/filings.
We approached Vimlan Tax to help guide us on a real estate investment and was provided a wealth of valuable information. It's clear their experience and thoughtful approach brings value to their clients. Would highly recommend!
I have been working with Vimal for the past 4 years, and I am very pleased with his detail oriented work. He also does retirement and brokerage accounts too. I highly recommend him and his brother Milan to anyone!
Vimal is very thorough and knows every rule/regulation in the book. What's even better is that he advises you accordingly and not just on taxes but different aspects of life including financial advice and how to cope with many other challenges that you are facing. Staff are friendly and helpful as well. Overall a great experience!
This firm is nothing but professional. What amazed me most, was how well versed they were with different industries. As a dentist, I was amazed how much one of the partners, Vimal Madhani knew about my field. I have found his continuous advice and guidance nothing short of excellent. I would highly recommend Vimlan to any of my peers.
Accountability, Communication and Accuracy, I would think are basic expectations for a tax service. It has been my experience that Milan and his firm have demonstrated a lack of both accountability and communication. I do not expect that from any firm when it comes to my tax filing. I will not quality this with a long story but I will be taking my business elsewhere. They kept me waiting till the last day despite the fact that I reached out to them repeatedly weeks in advance and eventually dropped the ba
I would highly recommend Vimlan Tax Services. We had a great experience working with Vimal and Milan as they are very knowledgeable, and appreciated the constant communication they provided throughout the process.
Vimal is very efficient tax preparer. He is very professional and responsive to his clients. I highly recommend this company based on my experiences with their services.
Vimal and Milan have the most simple and intelligent approach to my business. The advice they have given me has saved me so much in taxes, and they have been helping me with my retirement planning. I have it all with this firm.
Highly recommend! Taxes actually become enjoyable dealing with Vimlan! They have all the latest in technology to accommodate for remote filing - they are the best!
We have been their customer since 2008 and my husband won't even consider going any where else. Even when we moved to St Louis and then to champaign, we would drive to Schaumburg to get our taxes done. They are very efficient, helpful, knowledgeable and professional yet use very personalized approach. I have and would recommened them for your business and personal needs.
Vimal is extremely knowledgeable CPA. He always makes time for our family. And is able to get our business and personal accounting needs turn around on time.
I recently switched over 3 of my corporations from a different accounting firm after doing a business with them for 7 years. I see a big difference in service and communication. They are on top of it. The entire team is very helpful and always willing to answer any questions. Way to go. Definitely recommended.
Vimlan tax services have good knowledge in taxes. Not only they advised on my taxes, but they also advised what is right for my business. I will recommend their services.
Worked with Vimal. Great guy. Suggested some available tax credits for us and unfortunately it didn't work out because of the other firm, but Vimal is very responsive and goes the extra step for clients.
Both Vimal and Milan are knowledgeable and care for their clients. They will go out of their way to ensure my family and I are taken care of and have financial security in the long run. Couldn?t ask for more!!
I have had nothing but the best service with Vimlan Tax. They are a reliable, honest, and hardworking firm. Quick service and great people!
Vimal and Milan are a one two combination with great staff. All my business needs are taken care of !

Vimal and his team are quick and provide great service for my businesses
Vimlan provides an excellent service and are very professional and knowledgeable. Its worth consulting them .
Went there for tax advise; was told I needed to own a home in order to make deductions meaningful...what a revelation!
One of the best places to do your taxes, professional, good service, fast and friendly.
Look for a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license, which ensures they’ve passed rigorous exams and meet state requirements. Check for relevant experience in your industry, additional certifications like CFA or CMA, and membership in professional organizations like the AICPA. Verify their credentials through state licensing boards.
Use online directories like the AICPA, CPAverify, or state CPA societies. Search platforms like Yelp or Google for local CPAs with reviews. Ask for referrals from business associates, friends, or financial advisors. Local chambers of commerce can also provide recommendations.
A CPA is a licensed professional who has passed the CPA exam and met state requirements for education and experience. An accountant may lack this certification and could have varying levels of expertise. For complex tasks like tax audits or financial reporting, a CPA is typically more qualified.
Ask about their experience with your specific financial needs, such as tax preparation, small business accounting, or estate planning. Review their website or LinkedIn for case studies or client testimonials. Inquire about their client base to ensure they handle similar financial situations.
Yes, reviews provide insight into a CPA’s reliability, communication, and performance. Check platforms like Google, Yelp, or the Better Business Bureau for client feedback. Look for patterns in reviews, but verify their authenticity, as some may be biased or outdated.
Visit your state’s Board of Accountancy website or use CPAverify.org to check a CPA’s license status. Confirm their license is active and check for any disciplinary actions or complaints. This ensures they’re in good standing and meet professional standards.
Ask about their experience with your financial needs, fee structure, availability, and communication style. Inquire how they handle tax filings, audits, or financial planning. Ask for references or examples of similar work to assess their expertise and fit.
Fees vary based on location, services, and complexity. Basic tax preparation may cost $150-$500, while business accounting or audits can range from $1,000 to $10,000+. Request a detailed fee structure upfront and compare quotes from multiple CPAs.
Yes, many CPAs offer remote services through secure online platforms for document sharing and virtual consultations. Ensure they use encrypted tools for data security. Remote CPAs can be effective if they understand your local tax laws or business regulations.
During consultations, evaluate their ability to explain complex financial concepts clearly. Ask sample questions about taxes or financial strategies and note their responsiveness and clarity. Good communication ensures you understand their advice and fosters a productive relationship.
Beware of CPAs who guarantee specific tax refunds, lack a valid license, or have disciplinary actions on record. Avoid those with poor communication, vague fee structures, or negative reviews highlighting unethical behavior. Always verify their credentials independently.
Large firms offer more resources and specialized teams but may charge higher fees. Solo practitioners often provide personalized service and lower costs but may have limited availability. Choose based on your needs, budget, and preference for personalized attention.
For individuals, annual meetings for tax preparation may suffice. Businesses may need quarterly or monthly check-ins for bookkeeping, tax planning, or financial reporting. Discuss your needs upfront to establish a meeting schedule that aligns with your financial goals.
Yes, many CPAs handle both, but confirm their expertise in both areas. Ask about their experience managing personal taxes and business accounting simultaneously. Ensure they can balance both without compromising attention to your specific financial needs.
Discuss concerns directly with your CPA to resolve issues. If unresolved, check your contract for termination terms. Seek a new CPA by researching reviews, credentials, and referrals. Request your financial records to ensure a smooth transition to a new professional.
