Founded in 1978, Elgin based WARD, LANE & ASSOCIATES, P.C. is a public accounting firm that has developed a strong professional reputation and presence within the suburban Chicagoland market. Our efforts to provide quality professional services have led to client trust and confidence that few accounting firms achieve.   For our small to medium sized businesses, we serve as part-time controllers, offering a full range of accounting, management, payroll, tax preparation and other resources on a regular basis. By providing these services, it allows the firm to allocate more of their valuable resources toward building their business, while knowing that their financial records are being maintained by a professional organization.   In addition to the traditionally small business and tax services, we have also developed a reputation within the business valuation and litigation support areas. Our ability to quantify and resolve complicated financial issues that arise during such engagements as shareholder disputes, divorce and damage claims, have gained the respect of the legal community as well as the litigants themselves.
