Overview
About our office
Buffalo Grove sits in the middle of one of the densest concentrations of businesses in the Chicago suburbs: professional services firms, manufacturers, healthcare practices, and technology companies all within a few miles of each other. Steve, Bill, and Jacqueline have spent years building relationships across that mix. They know what a growing North Shore business actually needs, and they're not interested in the kind of service that only shows up in April.

11
Compilations
When you need professionally prepared financial statements but don't require independent verification: a compilation delivers exactly that. Accurate, professionally formatted, and appropriate for the situation.

12
Employee Benefit Plan Audits
Once your 401(k) or benefit plan reaches 100 eligible participants, federal law requires an independent audit. Archer Lewis handles employee benefit plan audits for plan sponsors who need accurate, DOL-compliant work delivered on time.

13
Review
A review provides meaningful independent assurance without the full scope of an audit, the right choice when your stakeholders need more than a compilation but an audit would be more than the situation requires.
