Working With Rick Goncher
Mary chose to stay in their home for another seven years, making sure she had enough space for family visits. Eventually, she moved into a senior living center and sold the house, relocating to a downtown apartment. Two years after her move, she received a notice from the IRS—she was being taxed on the sale of her home. Alone and unaware of a credit she was entitled to, Mary had no one to help her. As a result, the IRS took $10,000 from her savings, leaving her in a difficult financial situation.
Les and Mary weren’t just my grandparents—they were my guardians and role models. When my parents split up, they took us in and raised us. Watching Mary face the IRS on her own inspired the founding of Ax-S-Tax Advisors. Our mission is simple: to make sure no one else has to go through that experience alone.
At Ax-S-Tax Advisors, we understand how confusing and overwhelming tax issues can be. Inspired by Les and Mary’s story, we are committed to helping others navigate the IRS with confidence, protect their savings, and get every credit and deduction they deserve.
Our Guarantee: We’ll help you find money you didn’t know you had—and you’ll never have to talk to the IRS or face them alone.
The Process

Rick Goncher
Enrolled Agent, MSCTA, President & CEO, Founder
If it’s not fun, it’s not worth doing. I was born with the sarcasm gene in the south suburbs of Chicago. As an Enrolled Agent (EA) with a degree, a decade of experience as a tax auditor, and a professional photographer with a small business, I approach things differently than most tax professionals. I’ve been where you are — and I get it. There’s nothing better than playing with a four-year-old, seeing the look on a friend’s face when their problem disappears, or creating a plan that saves them thousands of dollars.
When I talk about financial and tax strategies, some people want camo. Others want Kevlar. Me? I offer both — invisible and bulletproof. Because it’s not just about what you save on a tax return. It’s about building income for life — and passing it down without getting taxed again.
I’m having a blast because I love what I do. If that’s what you’re looking for, hit the button — and let’s get this party started.
