PK Tax Services, LLC Joins Apex CPAs & Consultants to Expand Client Services and Local Expertise

St. Charles, IL — [December, 2025] — Apex CPAs & Consultants, Inc., a locally owned tax, accounting and advisory firm serving closely held businesses and individuals throughout the Fox Valley and beyond, is pleased to announce that PK Tax Services, LLC has officially merged with Apex CPAs & Consultants.

This strategic merger brings together two firms with a shared commitment to personalized service, technical excellence, and long-term client relationships. Clients of PK Tax Services, LLC will continue to receive the same high level of care they have come to expect, while gaining access to Apex’s expanded resources, advisory capabilities, and broader team of professionals.

“PK Tax Services has built a strong reputation for trusted tax guidance and close client relationships,” said Jim Chakires, Managing Partner at Apex CPAs & Consultants. “This merger allows us to preserve that personal approach while enhancing the depth of services available to clients as their needs grow.”

Through the merger, clients will benefit from Apex’s full suite of services, including tax planning and compliance, accounting and advisory services, outsourced CFO support, and strategic business consulting. The combined firm is especially well-positioned to serve growth-minded businesses and high-net-worth individuals seeking proactive guidance and a long-term advisory relationship.

The merger also reinforces Apex CPAs & Consultants’ long-standing commitment to the Fox Valley community.
