About Hoyos Baker

The back office your business deserves.

Our story

The firm I wished existed.

Hoyos Baker started inside an operating company that needed exactly this kind of firm and couldn't find one. So I built it.

From the operator side

Before this was a firm, I spent six years running finance operations for a 40-location restaurant group across the Midwest. I sat through enough conversations with our outside CPA to know what a good back office should sound like — and enough budget reviews to know how rare it actually was. Hoyos Baker is the firm I wished I could have called back then, built for the owners I now sit across the table from.

Bilingual from day one

Almost half of small-business owners in our market run their businesses in Spanish at home and English at the bank. Most firms ask them to pick. We don't. From the very first engagement letter, Hoyos Baker has operated bilingually — written, spoken, and on Slack — because that is how our clients actually live.

One roof, three disciplines

Bookkeeping, taxes, and the website that fronts your business — we keep them under one roof because that is where they actually belong. When the same team closes your books, files your return, and owns your domain, the seams between them stop costing you money.

By the numbers

What we stand for

Four habits, four promises.

These are not values painted on a wall. They are the way the firm actually operates — and the way you should feel free to hold us to it.

How we work

Bilingual by design, not by translation

Every reply, every engagement letter, every return is delivered in the language you actually run your business in. Native speakers on both sides — no Google Translate, no awkward handoffs.

How we charge

Flat fees, quoted up front

The number we send before we start is the number you pay when we finish. No hourly surprises, no scope-creep invoices, no per-question fees. If we discover something that changes the math, we re-quote in writing.

How we communicate

One Slack channel, one team

You get a dedicated practitioner and a partner who knows your books. Not a ticket queue, not a junior staffer rotating in every quarter. Slack for fast questions, calls when needed.

How we scale

Tech-forward, AI in the loop

We lean on modern accounting software and AI tooling so the boring parts move fast and the judgment calls get the attention they deserve. Categorization, reconciliation drafts, document parsing — automated. Strategy, review, and the call you actually make — human.

Culture

How we spend our weeks.

Mondays we close books. Tuesdays we send returns out for review. Wednesdays we talk to owners. Thursdays we ship — newsletters, advisory memos, the website edits clients sent us. Fridays we plan the following month. We keep the calendar boring on purpose, because the work it produces is anything but.

We are headquartered in Chicago, fully remote-friendly, and licensed to practice before the IRS in all 50 states. If you are a small-business owner anywhere in the US, we can be your back office — and you will know who is on the other side of every email.
