My Father, Guy Scalzitti, and my Mother, Tommie Lou Scalzitti started preparing taxes in 1968. They worked from the kitchen table at night and on the weekends, since they were both working their traditional 9 to 5 jobs.When they retired from their full time jobs, the business grew by leaps and bounds. Guy obtained health and life insurance licenses and became a Notary Public. Patti joined the operation in 1990 and has provided great service and support since day 1. She has taken on many responsibilities within the organization over the years.Upon retiring from the Navy, Larry and his family moved to Lake Zurich. Around that time, Guy and Tommie were doing all tax returns by hand. Larry started teaching Guy how to use a computer and then how to use a tax software program. After 5 years of teaching mathematics full time, Larry switched to part time and began actively working in the tax practice. In 2005, Larry left teaching behind and started doing tax work full time. Like Guy had done, Larry also obtained a life and health insurance license and became a Notary Public. In addition to offering insurance and annuity products, we also offer financial coaching and budget counseling.Guy retired after the 2008 tax season, but remained an active participant in the practice, serving as the "Tax Man Emeritus," until his death in 2013. Judy started working in the tax business around 2000 and supervises our out of state clients and helps at the Lake Zurich office. Tommie remains active in the business and is always available to chat with long time clients and friends. My youngest son, Tom, joined me at the Lake Zurich office in 2013 worked with me in the tax business for a number years. Heather, my oldest son's wife, joined the firm in 2017 and provides support at the Lake Zurich office.We are a relationship centered business. We are lucky to have a loyal client base and only take referrals and interesting cases for tax work. I am currently accepting clients for the financial coaching and budget counseling part of our business.
