Thank you!

JEFF & DONNA - my taxes were especially "taxing" this year. I realized how fortunate I was to already have an established relationship with a firm I can rely on. I find your work ethics to be organized, steady and in control. Also appreciated is your direct, matter-of-fact demeanor. Thank you!

High Quality of Service And Very Friendly to Work With

Jeff and his entire team are excellent to work with and very quick to respond to questions. If I ask for anything from this office I generally have it that day or at the least ... the next day. I would highly recommend Jeff and his very quality oriented team for all you small business needs.

Jeff Gast prepared our income tax return the past two years. We want to highlight his response time and attention to detail. We were impressed with his timely responses to our messages. He is always willing to answer questions and is great at explaining the details of different forms and tax laws. We've even contacted him about tax-related questions outside of tax season and he gets back to us immediately. He uses a pre-filing questionnaire to help us organize our materials. Before filing, you can meet with him or discuss the items via a phone conversation. He's extremely approachable and we highly recommend him!
-Beth H.

We are very pleased to be working with Padgett of Grayslake. They have provided excellent information and ideas that we have implemented into our company. Whether we are communicating with Jeff, Donna or their staff - Padgett has benefitted our business on many levels.
-Jay C.

I have worked with Jeff for the last 3 years, and my experiences with him and the Padgett staff have been wonderful. I always have a tight window for filing my taxes because of my travel schedule and my desire to file as early as possible. He's very communicative and gets the job done efficiently, but still with attention to detail.
-Brenda D.

We have used Jeff Gast and Padgett for years for both personal and business services. Always accurate, always informative, always gets it right.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Jeff, Donna, and the rest of the staff at Padgett are great! They go above and beyond to make sure all of our bookkeeping and taxes are on track. We have been with Padgett for a few years now. I know everything is being handled correctly allowing me to focus on running the business. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!

Good People Running a Good Business

This review is about Donna and Jeff. For the years we have worked with Padgett, we have nothing but good things to say about them. Recently, after a storm, we lost hard copies and our computer crashed. I sent Jeff an email for more documents (many) and he was able to send me ALL of them within the hour!!!!!! That is unheard of. We are all busy people so you can imagine my surprise. I wish nothing but well to Jeff and Donna. They are good people running a good business.
-Bianca M.

Very Professional!

Jeff Gast at Padgett Business Advisors Grayslake has been working on our family's federal and state income taxes for over 3 years. He has been very professional and helpful in explaining difficult tax concepts and how they apply to our tax returns. This year, Joy, a staff member in his office, has worked on our 2017 return. Upon completion of her work, she reviewed the tax return with me very clearly and went above and beyond to answer my questions. I am so appreciative of all the help she has given to me.
-Margaret A.
