About Us
I’m John Hicks, founder of Hicks & Co Tax Services, LLC. If you are like most people, financial independence is an important goal. One of the most overlooked strategies for growing wealth is excellent tax planning. Our firm helps you or your organization find all the deductions you qualify for and advises you on strategies to legally pay less to the government and save more for financial independence. We welcome the opportunity to serve you. We can get started right away. Call Today 937-372-7775.
tax preparation is only the beginning of what we do, lies in the quote which summarizes my simple belief about serving clients:
“I didn’t build a financial services company to have an easy life. I built my firm so I could share with individuals, like you, the keys to having your own financial success.”
From an early age my parents taught me financial independence should be among life’s many goals. By achieving financial freedom, a person’s existence would be less likely to be under the control of an employer or the whim of consumers that bought the products or services that employer produced or the ups and downs of a national economy.
Knowing you have enough money to pay that upcoming insurance bill or that unexpected car repair that seems to pop up at the worst time brings peacefulness to life that everyone should know. It also helps in marriage and relationships with others since money tends to be at the root of what we disagree about most.
The road to achieving that financial independence begins, simply enough, by setting aside money to pay for those expected and unexpected expenses. Some people call those “rainy day” funds. That money is accumulated by saving small amounts of cash. Sometimes by reducing expenses, such as taxes, other times by making wise financial choices.
When those funds reached a desirable level one can then begin saving for larger goals in life such as, vacations, cars, houses, college education for the children and then the ultimate savings goal: retirement. I’ve spent my life living to those principles, learning the tax laws to save money and studying investments to make them work for individuals like me.
Join me at my website and my practice and I will begin to share those principles with you. As always, feel free to call me at 937-372-7775.

Let Us Help
I hope you’ll forgive me for being blunt.
I am John M. Hicks, I’m a CPA, NPTI Fellow and realize that you may not be used to seeing a tax professional talk like this. It’s not my intention to offend (I’m actually being very careful with my words–I am a tax professional, after all).
But I think you’ll agree that the times we’re currently facing require a little straight talk.
Here’s a certain truth: the State and Federal Government would love to have more of your hard-earned money in their accounts. Sure, even though it’s painful, none of us begrudge paying our legal and fair share of taxes. But the problem is that regular taxpayers, like you, are missing out on legal and safe deductions, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars in unclaimed refunds every year!
As a tax professional, it truly breaks my heart, knowing that just a few thousand, or even a few hundred bucks for us “regular guys” out of that vast pool of overcharging could make a world of difference–and they are just sitting there, unclaimed! And with the economy we’re facing now…it’s essential that the “right” professional handles your taxes and other financial matters.
You see, all tax professionals are not the same. From the “discount” chains (notice the quotes) to classic accounting firms, most fly through tax season in a disorganized mess–bleary-eyed and hopped-up on caffeine. It’s no wonder that they treat you like a number and lapse into excuses and tax-talk. (I told you that I would be blunt.)
