Working With Rick Goncher

One crisp October morning, after selling their home just south of Chicago, Les and Mary Brill packed their car and set out on a new journey to Panama City, Florida. Their dream of a peaceful retirement took an unexpected turn a year and a half later when Les suffered a series of heart attacks and passed away, leaving Mary alone.

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 Advisors. Our mission is simple: to make sure no one else has to go through that experience alone.

At Ax-S 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.

We help people find money they don’t know they have. Because we ask questions no one else does…..and actually listen.

The Process

A Short First Call

1. Schedule a Fit Call. We begin by listening. We have a straightforward conversation about the business, the pressure, the problem as you see it and what you want the business to do for you. This is not a disguised sales ambush.

Insights & Answers Meeting

2. Insights and Answers. If the fit looks right, we move to a paid working session. We dig beneath the symptoms, translate the complexity into plain English, identify the real issues and show you the possibilities. Then we determine the smartest next step.

You Have a Choice

3. Choose the Right Engagement. That may be a 60-Day Strategic Reset, ongoing CFO and advisory work, tax strategy, or another clearly defined project. The work will be built around what we learned, not a one-size-fits-all package. You will understand the scope, the investment and the expected outcome before we begin.

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.
