White-label accounting for Illinois CPA firms

Illinois practices split between a global business city and a vast agricultural interior. Chicago firms serve trading groups, distributors, restaurants and professional services, while downstate practices in Peoria, Champaign and Springfield work with grain farms, equipment dealers and manufacturers. HelloBooks White-Label gives your firm one ledger platform branded as your own for clients on either side of that divide.

Distribution and logistics around Chicagoland

Chicago sits at the center of the nation’s rail and trucking networks, and the suburbs are full of distributors, freight brokers and warehouse operators. Their books carry high volumes of vendor bills and customer invoices. When reconciliation falls behind, owners lose track of who owes what.

HelloBooks handles AI categorization and bank reconciliation, holding uncertain items for a reviewer, with invoices and bills in the same ledger. Your firm console shows every client’s month-end status. Reviewers in Naperville or Schaumburg can see which distribution clients have items waiting and clear them in one pass.

Grain farms and equipment dealers downstate

Corn and soybean operations across central Illinois spend heavily in spring and wait on harvest or marketing decisions in the fall. Equipment dealers and elevators along the same roads follow that cycle. Farm families often hold land and operations in separate entities, and lenders want current statements for each.

Multi-entity support is available on the higher HelloBooks plans, keeping each ledger distinct while your firm reviews them together. Any question about farm tax treatment or Illinois compliance remains with your firm; HelloBooks does not give tax advice and does not file on anyone’s behalf.

Where Illinois CPA Society firms fit the license

Firms that gather through the Illinois CPA Society include everything from Loop practices to small-town offices. The White-Label License works the same for each: a flat monthly fee, unlimited staff, and your firm’s app name, logo, colors, sign-in page and templates. A hellobooks.ai subdomain is available from day one, with your own domain and email at full launch.

Each client stays on a published HelloBooks plan with a firm discount, and your firm bills clients at the price it chooses. HelloBooks sends invoices to the firm alone. Client data is owned by your firm and exportable, and founding firms are being accepted now.

White-label license pricing

One flat license covers your brand, unlimited staff and the firm console. Your clients stay on published HelloBooks plans, and your firm gets 20% off each one. Founding firms go live first on a firm subdomain; your own domain and email from your domain follow at full launch.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can Chicago distribution clients track bills and invoices in the branded app?
Yes. Invoicing and bills are part of HelloBooks, sitting in the same ledger as reconciled bank activity. Clients use them inside software carrying your firm’s branding, and your staff review everything from the firm console.
How should a downstate Illinois farm with several entities be organized?
On higher HelloBooks plans each entity can keep its own ledger through multi-entity support. How those entities are structured and taxed is your firm’s advice to give; HelloBooks only keeps the books.
Will our Illinois firm’s email domain be used for client messages?
Email sent from your firm’s domain arrives at full launch, together with your own web domain. Until then your firm uses a hellobooks.ai subdomain, and clients still see your branded sign-in page.
Does HelloBooks bill our Illinois clients or only our firm?
Only your firm. HelloBooks invoices the flat license plus each client’s published plan less the firm discount. Your firm sets its own client fees and bills them on its own terms.
