Darina Antonova, EA | Antonova Tax – Effective Tax Strategy Consulting and Compliance
TAX PLANNING: Preparing for 2023 Tax Filing Season and Beyond
The dos and don'ts of tax: How to structure your business for ultimate tax savings • Save hundreds every year by avoiding penalties • Retirement Savings and the related tax benefits • College Savings - 529 Plans • Investing in Real Estate and the importance of tax structure • The power of tax planning • 3 ways to avoid an IRS audit
I am Darina Antonova and am the president and owner of Antonova Tax, a virtual tax compliance and consulting firm. After years of working as a manager in a multinational public accounting firm I decided to start my own practice. My goal is to help individuals and small businesses utilize the power of tax planning. There are many tax savings tools and strategies that are not known to the common taxpayer and my hope is to make these more accessible to everyone. It is my mission to help small businesses and individuals make the best financial decisions utilizing individually tailored tax strategies.
With eight years of experience as a manager at a large public accounting firm I have the expertise and knowledge to help you make better decisions for your business, your family and your future.
An accounting degree from Loyola University Chicago and years of relevant experience have given me the tools to help my clients. The impact I can have on a family's financial wellbeing is giving me the fuel to strive for sharing my mission with more people.
Rositsa S. Dracheva | Founder and Managing Partner | |DRACHEVA LAW.LLC
ESTATE PLANNING: WILLS, TRUSTS, KIDS PROTECTION and PROBATE COURT
Rossy is an attorney, but most importantly, a mom. Rossy established Dracheva Law, LLC on the belief that the traditional practice of law is often flawed, designed to escalate conflict or be purely transactional. Rossy has chosen to be different and has implemented a unique method for serving families and small businesses by educating and empowering them to make informed decisions that best align with their individual needs, goals, and objectives. Her mission is to help clients pass on more than just their money and she encourages others to think of estate planning and business planning as the best way to live a full and meaningful life.
Disillusioned with the law, Rossy took a leave of absence from her legal career to focus on her family. After two years away, Rossy returned to the law to serve clients in a more humane way that keeps families out of court and out of conflict. As a proud mom, Rossy understands the importance of estate planning from both the perspective of a loving family member and an experienced attorney.
Prior to establishing Dracheva Law, Rossy spent several years practicing as a corporate immigration attorney at one of the top global corporate immigration law firms. She remains passionate about this area of law and continues to integrate it into her practice. She was selected to the 2024 Illinois Rising Start list (Rising Stars list is a prestigious distinction that only the top 2.5% of attorneys receive).
In 2010, Rossy graduated from DePaul University with college honors magna cum laude. Subsequently, in 2015, she obtained her Juris Doctor from Chicago-Kent College of Law.
A note from Rossy: You will quickly find that I am not your typical attorney, and I think that is a good thing. If you want just forms and legal documents, please visit a traditional estate planning attorney. If you prefer a truly personal and concierge experience, that ensures your planning is going to work, then we are the right choice for you.
