Monika Klus, EA

Founder & Senior Tax Advisor, CPA Legacy Group LLC

Monika Klus doesn't just file taxes — she builds tax strategy that institutional clients pay six figures for, delivered to businesses of any size.

Her background includes 10+ years managing corporate tax compliance in high-stakes environments, including 24 entities across two federal consolidated returns spanning all 50 states, Canada, Mexico, and Poland. Her specialties run deep: ASC 740 tax provisions, intercompany eliminations, transfer pricing, and BEAT analysis — the same technical work used by Fortune 500 finance teams. She also advises clients on state and local tax (SALT) consulting, sales tax compliance, and multi-state business registration.

She founded CPA Legacy Group LLC on one belief: that level of strategy shouldn't be reserved for corporations with in-house finance departments. Every client — solo entrepreneur, growing business, or foreign company entering the U.S. market — gets the same rigor and the same proactive planning.

When you reach out, you get Monika. Not an automated reply. Not a junior associate three layers removed from the work. A real response within 24 hours, every time — fluent in English and Polish, with the technical depth of a major firm and the direct attention of someone who built this practice to actually know her clients.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked
Questions

Everything you need to know about working with CPA Legacy Group LLC before your first consultation.

What makes CPA Legacy Group different from other CPA firms?+
We combine the technical depth of a large firm — ASC 740 provisions, multi-state SALT, international tax, digital assets — with the personal attention of a boutique practice. Every client has direct access to a licensed CPA, not a junior associate. And we respond to every inquiry within 24 hours, guaranteed.
Do you work with clients outside of Illinois?+
Yes — we serve clients across all 50 United States and internationally. Many of our engagements are conducted entirely remotely via our secure client portal, phone, and video conference. Location is not a barrier.
Do you serve foreign companies expanding into the US?+
Yes — this is a core specialty. We guide foreign businesses through US entity formation, EIN registration, tax structure planning, FBAR, FATCA, and ongoing federal and state compliance. We communicate in English, Polish, and Ukrainian.
How quickly can you get started on my return?+
Typically within one to two business days of receiving your documents. We discuss timeline expectations at the start of every engagement so there are no surprises — and we always meet our deadlines.
Are your fees transparent?+
Yes. Every engagement begins with a clear, written engagement letter that specifies the scope of services and fees. We do not send surprise invoices. If scope changes, we discuss it with you before proceeding.
Do you handle IRS audits and notices?+
Absolutely. Our CPAs represent clients before the IRS for audits, correspondence audits, notices, and appeals. We handle all communication on your behalf — you never have to speak directly to the IRS unless you choose to.
