A family-run team of CPAs built on integrity, professionalism, and exceptional service. We work with individuals, small businesses, and multi-sized corporations across Northwest Indiana, Chicagoland, and beyond.
Laciak>cpa was built on a simple idea: numbers only matter if they help you make better decisions. We don’t just close your books and file your return. We take time to understand where your business is headed, then make sure your financials and tax strategy actually support that direction.
This depth comes from a team with broad technical knowledge and specialty areas of practice, so whatever your situation calls for, chances are we’ve handled it before. We respond to your needs by knowing your business inside and out, which means fewer surprises and more straight answers you can act on.
Four things clients notice within the first month.
You work directly with a CPA who knows your name, understands your numbers, and stays familiar with your financial situation.
We look beyond the return itself to help you understand what the numbers mean for your business.
We give you clear, useful answers while there is still time to act on them and make informed decisions.
We look for thoughtful, practical solutions tailored to your specific situation, including opportunities others may overlook.
Information is Power, having the right CPA is Wealth. ®
Founded in 1983 by Joseph Laciak, the company’s evolution reflects Joe’s passion for public accounting and helping small businesses succeed.
Joe starts in public accounting at Crowe Chizek in South Bend, then moves to Price Waterhouse in Chicago before joining a local firm in Schererville.
Having decided to dedicate his career to individuals and small businesses, Joe and a partner open their own CPA practice serving Northwest Indiana and Chicago’s South Suburbs.
After a decade of success, Joe acquires the practice outright and begins broadening its services to meet clients’ changing needs.
A second generation of Laciak CPAs continues the firm’s legacy, bringing fresh perspective while staying true to the values that have shaped the practice.
We pride ourselves on the quality of our team as much as the quality of our services, bringing a personal approach to every client relationship.
