Research Assistance Sponsored by the Illinois CPA Society

Research Assistance is a benefit of the Center for Corporate Financial Leadership as part of your state CPA society membership.

Research Assistance provides on-demand business research,  links to online resources, and lending library services. Whether you need an overview of a topic or research on a specific question, scenario or situation, you can save time by contacting the Research Specialists and letting them find the information for you.

Questions are generally addressed within 24 hours. The Research Specialists can help when you need company or industry research, software evaluations, accounting, tax, employee benefit, ABM/ABC, budgeting, outsourcing, merger & acquisition, or performance measurement information to name a just a few topics on which they can provide information. For resources on frequently requested subjects, see Information by Topic. (The Information by Topic section is currently being updated. Please check back soon for more information.)

For complex research requests, a response time is negotiated that is acceptable to you and realistic for the research staff to find the information you need.

Contact them via phone, email, eform, or fax with your request. They will respond in kind when appropriate and will mail information and resources that cannot be faxed or emailed due to size or copyright restrictions.
