Meet Rob Pasquesi, Founder

Rob started his career at Deloitte and later worked at Grant Thornton, where he spent 14 years working closely with business owners, CFOs, and controllers addressing their accounting, tax, and financial needs.

Rob received his Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from Boston College and a Masters of Business Administration from DePaul University’s Kellstadt School of Business. Rob is a licensed CPA in Illinois and he is also a member of the Illinois CPA Society and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

What our clients say

We have been using Pasquesi Partners for many years. Our income tax returns are really complicated due to some investments we have. We do not have the expertise to complete our returns. In addition, we get tax planning advice throughout the year to help minimize the impacts on our return. In addition, they are up-to-date on all tax changes that occur at the State and Federal levels. They provide detailed explanations on how these changes impact our returns. I wouldn’t be able to do this myself and very grateful to have an trustworthy accountant help us out every year.

Rob is awesome! He has been my accountant for the past several years, and is always quick to respond and help. Accounting and tax prep is typically very stressful to me, but he puts me at ease and makes sure everything is done easily and properly. I am a small business owner of 13 years and would definitely recommend their services! Him and his staff are very knowledgable and up to date on everything in the accounting and business world!

Rob is very personable and dedicated. He provided fast, diligent accounting services as well as supportive advice on my startup business. The process to file NUDAY’S tax returns for the first time was very simple and stress free. I high recommend Pasquesi Partners LLC and look forward to working with them in the future.

Rob and his team have been there to take care of my tax needs for years now. They always streamline the process and help me get everything organized the way it should be. I never have any fears when Pasquesi partners takes care of my year end needs.
