About Gene Elling
Gene Elling is the founder and driving force behind Midwest Professional Tax Service Inc. With over three decades of professional experience in tax, accounting, and business services, Gene has built a reputation for guiding individuals and businesses through the most complex financial and regulatory challenges with clarity, confidence, and integrity.
Background & Expertise
- Long-standing experience: Since 1994, Gene owned and operated H&R Block Advisors, where he developed deep expertise helping a wide range of clients— from freelancers and small businesses to established corporations—manage their payroll, bookkeeping, and tax obligations.
- Comprehensive services: Gene’s skills span the full spectrum of financial services: setting up businesses (LLCs, corporations, partnerships), maintaining accurate bookkeeping, running payroll, preparing tax returns, and ensuring compliance with ever-changing laws and regulations.
- Client-first approach: More than simply delivering financial services, Gene believes in educating his clients. With him, you don’t just “get your taxes done”—you gain insight into what impacts your bottom line, how to minimize liabilities, where risks lurk, and how to plan for a stronger financial future.
Philosophy & What Drives Us
Gene’s philosophy is rooted in three core values:
- Integrity — doing right by clients, even when it’s the harder path.
- Clarity — simplifying complexity so clients understand what they’re paying for, what they owe (or are owed), and how to make the best decisions.
- Partnership — Gene sees each client’s business or financial life as a unique journey; his job is to be a trusted guide and advisor, not just a service provider.
