“Can a small Chicago CPA firm built on personalized client service become the go-to accounting partner for e-commerce and small business owners in the Midwest?”
Founded in 1990 as a solo CPA practice, Accounting Solutions Ltd. has grown into a multi-service Chicago accounting firm serving small and medium-sized businesses, estates, and trusts. The firm expanded beyond traditional tax preparation to include bookkeeping, payroll services, audit representation, and e-commerce accounting — specializing in Amazon, Shopify, Magento, and Etsy sellers. There is no evidence of a technology or embedded-finance pivot; the firm operates as a traditional professional services provider that uses third-party tools (notably QuickBooks and Melio) to serve clients.
Accounting Solutions integrates with QuickBooks.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 2 layers in Accounting Solutions's stack: Accounting (QuickBooks); Spend / AP (Melio).
