Kaizen CPAs + Advisors

Kaizen CPAs + Advisors is an accounting firm that works only with auto repair shops, including independent shops, franchises and multi-location operators. The firm offers year-round tax planning, monthly bookkeeping structured around a shop's management system, and growth and succession planning. Clients are typically shops doing roughly $1 million to $15 million in annual revenue, and the firm uses QuickBooks Online.

The process starts with a discovery call and a review of a shop's financials and tax returns before any proposal is made. Monthly financials are delivered by the 25th of each month, with scheduled strategy sessions and tax filing included. The office is at 1555 Main Street in Antioch, Illinois, and the firm also offers free online tools for labor costing and valuation.
