Company Objective
CGFS provides bookkeeping, accounting, and tax services for
business owners desiring the advantages of accurate, well-organized records without having
to employ a full or part time bookkeeper. Financial information will be kept strictly
confidential. The security of business records is top priority and they will be maintained
accurately and confidentially! CGFS can provide as much, or as little assistance as you
need. |
Company Background
CGFS was established in 1998 by Cary Hedrick and Gregory
Higgins. Located in Arlington Heights IL, CGFS's first clients were companies requiring
mainly software contracting work; programming and accounting consulting. CGFS also
picked up several clients for bookkeeping and tax returns.
In 2002, the company split, and Cary took over CGFS,
incorporated it, and turned it into strictly accounting, bookkeeping and taxes.
Gregory took the other portion and continued his contracting and e-mail group though
it. On October 1, 2002, CGFS, inc. began in business, and is constantly adding new
clients to the list.
