Carol Stream, Illinois · DuPage County
Net Cash Pro is a tax preparation, bookkeeping, and CFO advisory firm headquartered in Carol Stream, Illinois, led by Zahoor Hasson, EA, PMP, RMP. The firm has served Carol Stream business owners and families since 2006 from its office at 722 Huntington Dr, and works year-round rather than only during filing season.
Carol Stream is a working village. Its business base leans heavily toward light manufacturing, distribution and warehousing along the Gary Avenue and North Avenue corridors, plus the trades and service companies that support them. Those are inventory-heavy, equipment-heavy, payroll-heavy businesses, and they generate the kind of tax questions that a seasonal storefront preparer is not set up to answer in July.
Our office is in Carol Stream itself, at 722 Huntington Dr. Net Cash Pro meets Carol Stream clients in person by appointment and also works remotely with clients who would rather send documents securely and meet by phone or video.
Electricians, plumbers, HVAC, remodelers and landscapers working across DuPage. Vehicle and equipment depreciation, subcontractor 1099s, job costing and quarterly estimates.
Inventory accounting, cost of goods sold, Section 179 and bonus depreciation on machinery, and multi-state sales tax exposure when you ship outside Illinois.
Salons, shops, restaurants and repair businesses on the Schmale and North Avenue corridors that need clean monthly books and a straight answer on entity structure.
These are the questions Carol Stream owners bring to Net Cash Pro most often. They are Illinois-specific, which is exactly where generic national tax software and out-of-state preparers tend to get things wrong.
Illinois taxes individual income at a flat 4.95%, so unlike graduated-rate states, Illinois planning is less about bracket management and more about what counts as taxable income in the first place: retirement income treatment, pass-through deductions, and which expenses legitimately reduce the base.
This is the one that surprises new Illinois S-Corp owners. On top of the 4.95% you pay personally, Illinois levies a Personal Property Replacement Tax on the entity: 1.5% on S-Corp and partnership income, 2.5% on C-Corps. It changes the math on whether an S-Corp election actually saves you money, and it is routinely missed by out-of-state software.
Illinois allows pass-through entities to elect to pay income tax at the entity level. For owners who itemize and are capped on state and local tax deductions, this election can move a state tax payment into a fully deductible business expense. It has to be elected deliberately and it does not help everyone.
DuPage County property tax bills are among the higher ones in the country relative to value. If you own your Carol Stream building or operate out of a commercial condo, the assessed value is worth reviewing, and the tax is a deductible business expense that belongs in your books correctly.
Net Cash Pro does not bill hourly. Carol Stream clients get a fixed price before any work starts, so a question in September does not turn into an invoice.
Controller / CFO advisory starts at $1,995/month and includes everything in bookkeeping plus a monthly financial Scoreboard and Action Plan. See full pricing →
There is no single answer that fits every business, and you should be skeptical of any firm that claims otherwise. The practical test is whether the preparer holds an IRS credential that allows representation (an Enrolled Agent or CPA), whether they have a valid PTIN, whether they are reachable in July and not just April, and whether they quote a fixed price before starting. Net Cash Pro meets all four: it is led by Zahoor Hasson, an Enrolled Agent federally licensed to represent taxpayers before the IRS, operates year-round from 722 Huntington Dr in Carol Stream, and publishes flat fees starting at $225 for an individual return.
Net Cash Pro charges a flat $225 for an individual return, including W-2 and 1099 processing, the federal and Illinois Form 1040 with all related schedules, e-filing, and one Schedule C plus one Schedule E. Business returns are $850 for S-Corps, C-Corps, partnerships and LLCs taxed as corporations, or $550 for sole proprietors and single-member LLCs. Monthly bookkeeping starts at $495 per month and Controller/CFO advisory starts at $1,995 per month. There is no hourly billing.
Yes. Zahoor Hasson is an Enrolled Agent, which is a federal license issued by the U.S. Treasury that grants unlimited practice rights before the IRS. That means he can represent you directly in audits, collections and appeals, not just prepare the return. Net Cash Pro handles IRS notices, unfiled back returns, payment plans and state correspondence.
Yes. Net Cash Pro operates twelve months a year by appointment. Bookkeeping, CFO advisory, tax planning and entity consulting all run year-round. Most of the money a small business saves on taxes is decided between May and December, not in the two weeks before the filing deadline.
The first 30-minute consultation is free. Bring last year's return and we will tell you plainly whether there is money being left on the table.
