Andy Lic, CPA
Andy believes that providing clients with outstanding service in turn gives them a great sense of confidence. With 28 years of professional experience in both industry and public accounting, one of the most gratifying aspects of his profession is seeing clients understand complicated tax issues and feeling the appreciation that comes with unraveling those issues. Andy is known for his ability to explain tax returns and complicated financial issues with clarity and integrity. Andy works with both individuals and businesses toward their goal of fiscal integrity.
Andy's interest in accounting started at a very young age. Even while a high school and college student he would work various jobs in an accounting capacity. Because of his interest in how businesses made money and an opposition to industry being heavily taxed, pursuing a degree in Accounting at DePaul University was a compelling next-step in Andy's goal of becoming a CPA.
When Andy is not solving tax issues for clients he and his family enjoy spending time outdoors. Along with his wife and three daughters, Andy has lived in the Algonquin area for over 15 years. An avid hunter, Andy would love to one day go Elk hunting out west and travel the landscape of Alaska. Andy is also a board member of Gethsemane Prayer Ministries, a non profit organization that helps individuals find resolutions to significant struggles through faith and an understanding of their relationship with God when conventional solutions may fall short. Andy is also a board member of the Fox River Grove chapter of the Illinois CPA Society.
