National Expertise. Personal Commitment. Great Service @ Right Ways, Since 2002.
At Greatways Tax Service Inc., we believe that high-level financial expertise should never be out of reach.
Founded in 2002 by Pramod Zacharias, EA, our firm was built on a singular vision: to provide individuals and small businesses across all 50 states with the sophisticated tax strategies of a national firm, delivered with the heart and attention of a local partner. For over two decades, we have served as more than just tax preparers—we are your year-round financial advocates.
What is an Enrolled Agent (EA)? An Enrolled Agent is the highest credential of the IRS awards. Unlike other tax preparers, EAs are federally authorized tax practitioners who have unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service. As an EA, Pramod Zacharias is recognized as one of "America's Tax Experts," specializing in all matters of taxation.
Our Philosophy: Relationships Over Returns
We believe that trust is earned through active listening and consistent results. Every tax return represents a person’s hard work or a business’s ambition. Our mission is to provide the perfect balance of attentive service and professional leadership, helping you protect your assets today while scaling for tomorrow.
What makes us different? We focus on the three pillars of modern tax service: Transparency, Comprehensive Support, and Security.
- • Total Price Transparency Financial peace of mind starts with honesty. We utilize a flat-fee structure based strictly on the complexity of your filing—not the size of your refund. With our published Fee Schedule, you will never encounter hidden costs or surprises.
- • Comprehensive Business Support We help entrepreneurs build solid foundations. Beyond tax season, we offer a full suite of services:
- * Business Formation: Strategic setup and entity selection for new ventures.
- * Bookkeeping & Payroll: Accurate, timely management of your daily finances.
- * Strategic Consulting: Expert advice to help you scale efficiently.
- • IRS-Authorized ITIN Services Navigating the ITIN process is complex. As an IRS-authorized firm, we assist applicants with W-7 processing, providing expert document verification and certification to ensure your application is correct the first time.
- • Unlimited Representation & Audit Protection Because we are led by an Enrolled Agent, we offer unlimited practice rights before the IRS. We provide tax audit assistance for our clients. If the IRS has questions, you don’t have to answer them alone, we are in your corner.
Your Year-Round Financial Partner
Tax season may end in April, but financial health is a 365-day commitment. Whether you visit us at our Naperville, Illinois office or work with us remotely from anywhere in the U.S., our team is always just a phone call or email away.
