ABOUT
DUNTON TAX SOLUTIONS

Hi, I’m Richard Dunton, EA.

​

I started my accounting practice with one goal: to help small business owners keep more of their hard-earned money and reach their financial and personal goals.

​

This mission is personal to me because I’ve seen firsthand how tough it is to run a business while juggling taxes and finances. When I was growing up, my father owned a welding shop, working as an ornamental metalworker. He was a skilled craftsman whose railings, spiral staircases, and custom gates still grace some of the most beautiful homes in South Florida. But after 25 years of hard work, his business ran out of money, and he had to close shop.

​

Today, I provide expert tax, accounting, and business services to dozens of small business owners, helping them make more money and pay less tax. I handle the numbers and paperwork so they can focus on growing and strengthening their businesses.

​

As an Enrolled Agent, I’m licensed by the IRS to represent taxpayers—a privilege I take seriously. I’ve worked hard to develop a deep understanding of the tax system and have helped my clients save over $2 million in unnecessary taxes.

​

But it’s not just about tax savings. I work closely with business owners to help them understand their numbers and create forward-thinking strategies to grow, protect, and manage their money.

​

I believe financial, tax, and legal concepts don’t have to be complicated. I offer a full range of services, including:

​

✔ Bookkeeping & Payroll
✔ Tax Preparation & Planning
✔ Financial Strategy & Business Consulting

​

I also work with a trusted network of financial planners and attorneys who specialize in small business needs, offering guidance on investments, legal matters, and more.

​

My office is based in Rockford, IL, but through video conferencing and my secure client portal, I provide personalized support in all 50 states. I’m passionate about small business and committed to being a trusted advisor who truly understands your needs.

​

I believe everyone should be the captain of their own ship, steering toward their goals with confidence. But even the best captains need a skilled navigator to guide the way. Tax, legal, and accounting issues can feel like rough waters, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Together, we’ll map out a clear course, avoid costly detours, and keep your business sailing smoothly toward the success you deserve. 🚢
