CJBS, LLC - Northbrook, Illinois

My organization works with CJBS, and I cannot recommend this team strongly enough. Andrew has been a great advocate and endless resource, and the rest of the team has always been nothing but eager to support us, even when we have presented challenging situations.

We are not a huge organization, but we're large enough that we have a long list of vendors, and only a few of them seem interested in the kind of personal relationship our whole school community is built on. CJBS has always felt very close, and in authentic ways.

I know that nonprofits change auditors all the time, but considering a different team is a nonstarter for me.

Darren helped me immensely with my business acquisition. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and provided phenomenal business advisory services beyond just accounting. He also connected me with other specialists to help ensure a smooth transition. Highly recommend!

Lori has been taking care of my now deceased In-Laws for decades and has become my Tax Accountant as well for a long, long time. She is extremely knowledgeable and thorough, as well as being a very nice Lady. I have recently moved into "senior housing" and she gladly came here to take care of my Tax needs, as well as, some of my "senior friends". Lori is a very special Lady!

This accounting firm is the Best!
My wife and I have used CJBS for 5 years and are very impressed with how thorough the staff works on our return each year.
For 2020, we worked with Laura Matthews for the Tax Organizer and tax preparation.
My Mom has used CJBS for several years and she suggested my wife and I switch to CJBS for our own taxes.
Sophie Chen, Tax Associate, was Mom's contact for any questions as her return was processed. Linda Hess sent the Tax organizer to me for Mom's return. The teamwork is very smooth.
I also responded to Jeffrey Stuart, CPA & Managing Member on a couple questions for both returns.
We highly recommend CJBS for income tax expertise. They have a full staff of experts and are great to work with each year.

CJBS helped our cannabis company through initial startup planning, Quickbooks setup, and ongoing consulting. They are always quick to respond, reasonably priced, and experts in their field. HIGHly recommend for any cannabis company wanting to exist in the long term.

CJBS has been our accounting firm for over 25 years. They are a firm that is professional, friendly and most of all well staffed with knowledgeable accountants in several departments within the firm. Our company, WE Carlson Corp., is very satisfied with the service and consultation CJBS has provided us all these years. We look forward to continuing our relationship for many more years.

Excellent service. Matt Bergman is THE BEST! I have used this company- and Matt has been my CPA- for 15 years. Always responds quickly to my questions, is clear and concise in his responses. Taxes are done promptly, vouchers are sent out well in advance of their quarterly due date. He ia always on top of things for my company and my personal income taxes and filings. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

I did my personal tax with them, I chose CJBS because my situation was a bit more complicated and they claimed to be the experts and promised to help me. The communication was slow, the price unreasonably high and the tax advisor had clearly poor understanding of the tax system so I had to hire a second tax advisor to correct and finalize my tax return. Save your nerves, time and money and look elsewhere..
