I’m Alex Nelson, the accountant behind Balmoral Accounting & Tax. I have a degree in accounting and 20 years of experience in public accounting, preparing personal and business tax returns, handling payroll, and keeping clients’ books in order. I’m a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor.

I most enjoy working with owner-managed businesses, and with the people who run them because they love what they do. Running a business takes far more than expertise in your trade, and accounting is often the part owners least want to deal with. Over 20 years I’ve worked with owners from every industry and background. I explain the accounting side in plain language and handle the details for you, so you can focus on the work you’re best at.

When you work with me, you work with me. I do all of the work myself, so your financial information stays with me. Nothing is outsourced overseas. I’m based in Chicago, and I work with clients by email, phone, text, or Zoom.
