For over 30 years our Chicago area business accounting firm has been assisting our business clients run successful enterprises and we think that we are uniquely qualified to help yours as well.

Why are We Uniquely Qualified?

We aren’t your typical CPA firm. Yes, we have all the credentials and experience of much larger firms but our focus is not on big ticket engagements but rather on client satisfaction.

Your best interests are always forefront in our recommendations.

We are the business accounting firm in Chicago with a difference. Here’s what a typical customer comment sounds like:

Top 5 Reasons Business Owners Choose McClure, Inserra & Co. as Their Chicago Small Business CPA Firm.

1. Every Client Counts
We know that as a business owner you have literally hundreds of Chicago small business CPA firms to choose from. To earn your business we have made client satisfaction the hallmark of our company. Our operating philosophy and reality is solely based on the objective of bringing peace of mind to our clients by helping them create businesses that work, accomplish their personal financial goals and relieve the burden of compliance in the financial arena. Our service is not so much about telling you where you’ve been as it is to show you a way to optimize your accounting operations going forward.

2. Customized Comprehensive Services
We understand that not all businesses have the same accounting needs. Depending on staffing, experience and resources, a company may only have a requirement for bimonthly or monthly reconciliation and adjustments, a quarterly review for management or annual accounting and tax returns. We don’t offer “one size fits all” services. Rather, we custom tailor or service to fit the specific needs of your business and will be involved as much or as little in your financial accounting and planning as you deem fit. At McClure, Inserra and Company we’ll make informed suggestions but you decide the level of service that you need.

3. QuickBooks Set-up, Repair, Training & Software Support
It’s been our experience that our small to medium sized business clients find QuickBooks and particularly QuickBooks Online to be an excellent fit for their basic and advanced accounting needs. Accordingly we became certified as QuickBooks ProAdvisors and offer our clients in-depth support for their QuickBooks accounting software. In its simplest use, all a client needs to know is if the transaction he or she is dealing with is money in or money out.However, QuickBooks is a powerful piece of software and offers incredible business management reports…if it is set up correctly and if the user knows how to use it. Set up, training (at our Arlington Heights facility or your office), and software support is a specialty of ours, allowing our clients to get the maximum benefit from their accounting software investment.

4. Unquestioned Expertise
Who audits the auditors? In the past 20 years McClure, Inserra and Company has performed over 200 peer reviews of other Chicago CPA firms. Partner Paul Inserra has been a key member of the Illinois CPA Society’s Peer Review Report Acceptance Committee for many years and distinguished himself as the Committee Chair in past years. Paul has served on the AICPA Peer Review Board and is presently on its Oversight Task Force. A firm trusted by the competition to review their operations is a firm of unquestioned integrity and competence…a firm you should have working for you.

5. Convenience
Our Chicago tax office is based in Arlington Heights but our clients come from Glenwood to Oak Brook to Northbrook and of course the city. Obviously we welcome office visits but they aren’t essential. Using the latest secure technology we can offer the same level of service online. We can provide a secure link to transfer files and of course phone, fax and e-mail are all available.
