Year-round accounting services for your Moline-area business

We work with small-business owners in many industries. Some of the examples illustrated on our site include: real estate, professional services, restaurants, and retail.

We offer a full suite of financial services geared especially for small businesses:

• Tax — preparation and strategic planning focused on compliance and maximizing after-tax profits.
• Accounting — accurate financial statements and bookkeeping to keep you organized and clear about your financial position.
• Advisory services — proactive financial insights, forecasting, planning, and helping you make strategic business decisions.

• We are local professionals who understand the regional business environment in Moline, IL.
• We are backed by a national network, so we combine the personalized attention of a small firm with the resources and reach of a larger organization.
• Our approach is year-round (not just busy season) — proactive, open communication, and partnerships focused on your growth and success.

Clients typically need to supply:

• Financial records (bank statements, past tax returns, receipts, invoices)
• Payroll records (if you have employees)
• Details of business expenses, assets, liabilities
• Any documentation about changes (e.g. structure, ownership, new lines of business)
• Timely responses to requests for information, so filings can be accurate and deadlines met.

We offer several tools and resources to support you:

• A Tax Center with tax due dates, rates, forms, record retention guidance.
• Padgett Tools — technological or process tools to help with bookkeeping, reporting, and compliance.
• Whitepapers, newsletters, blog content with insights into best practices, industry-specific guidance, and changes in law or regulation.
• Success stories / client reviews so you can see how others in similar situations have benefited.

Pricing depends on several factors:

• The size and complexity of your business (revenues, number of employees, types of transactions)
• Which services you need (just tax vs. full accounting + payroll + advisory)
• Frequency of service (monthly accounting, quarterly check-ins, etc.)
• Your current status (whether you're already organized, or starting from scratch) We work with clients to define a scope, then provide a proposal or estimate based on those variables.

We rely on:

• Up-to-date knowledge of tax law, accounting standards, and payroll regulations.
• Internal processes and tools to track deadlines, documentation, and deliverables.
• Client collaboration — you provide timely, accurate data; we help you understand what’s needed.
• Use of “Padgett Tools” and resources to streamline compliance and consistency.

Usually the process is:

• Contact us (via phone, web form, or visit) to schedule a consultation.
• We'll assess your business's needs — where you are financially, what challenges or goals you have.
• We'll propose a tailored service plan (tax / accounting / payroll / advisory) that fits your operations and budget.
• Once you decide to move forward, we'll begin onboarding: gathering records, setting up software or reporting systems, defining deliverables & timing.
