In 1998, Lodestar Tax & Consulting was founded by Joshua Belk as a small tax preparation office. Word quickly spread about Josh’s skill and knowledge, and soon the business grew to providing tax and financial statement preparation services for clients throughout the greater Chicagoland area.

As the company continued to grow through the years, Josh was able to turn the focus of  Lodestar Tax & Consulting from families and small family businesses to local corporate clients with small to medium-sized businesses.  Lodestar Tax & Consulting began providing more services and began hiring additional staff and providing additional accounting and business-related services.
