Serving Chicagoland & All of Illinois

Caputa & Associates is a certified public accounting firm based in Des Plaines, Illinois. Our office at 2454 E Dempster Street, Suite 150 is the home base from which we serve small business owners across Chicagoland and throughout the state — whether you prefer to meet in person, by phone, or over video with secure document sharing.

What sets us apart isn't a list of towns on a map; it's that we live and work under the same Illinois tax rules our clients do. We handle Illinois corporate and pass-through income tax, the state's pass-through entity (PTE) tax election, Illinois sales and use tax, Cook County and local requirements, Illinois payroll and unemployment filings, and the registration and annual-report obligations that come with operating an LLC, S-Corp, or C-Corp in this state. When a question depends on how Illinois actually treats something, you're talking to a firm that deals with it every day.

Most of our clients find us the same way: a neighbor, a colleague, or a fellow business owner who left us one of our 240+ Google reviews and a 4.9-star rating. That word-of-mouth is the heart of our practice, and it's why we focus on doing exceptional work for the businesses we serve rather than trying to be everywhere at once.

Rooted in Des Plaines, working across Illinois

Des Plaines is home. Our office sits right in the heart of the city, just off Dempster, which makes us one of the most accessible CPA options for business owners in Des Plaines and the surrounding northwest suburbs. Need to drop off documents or sit down face-to-face to talk through a quarterly tax strategy? We're minutes away. That accessibility is something firms operating purely online or from a distant downtown office can't match.

From that home base we work with businesses throughout the Chicago metropolitan area and beyond — restaurants and retailers, trades and contractors, professional practices, manufacturers and logistics companies near O'Hare, and the owner-operated S-Corps and LLCs that make up the backbone of Illinois small business. Because so much of our work is handled securely online, where your business sits in Illinois is far less important than getting you a CPA who understands your situation and is genuinely responsive.

How we help Illinois businesses

We provide a full suite of accounting services tailored to small businesses: business tax return preparation for S-Corps, C-Corps, partnerships, and LLCs; monthly bookkeeping and financial statements; full-service payroll and tax deposits; new entity formation and advisory; and personal tax returns for business owners as part of an overall relationship. Every engagement starts with understanding your specific situation — because no two Illinois businesses are exactly alike.
