Monroe Accounting Solutions has been in existence, in one form or another, for many years. The business was originally started by Oren Monroe around 1940 as a part-time business from home. The business gradually expanded to a tax season only office being opened on the McLeansboro square. In about 1968, his son Russell Monroe, came into the business as well. Working from the store front and home for a number of years, the business gradually grew into a full-time bookkeeping office in the early 1970’s, operated by Russell and his wife Lu Ann.

In 1983, Alan Monroe came into the business after completing his bachelor degree in accounting at Southern Illinois University – Carbondale. By this time the office was located just off of the square in McLeansboro and was serving clients from around the area with full service bookkeeping and payroll services. Alan has continued to expand the business to include electronic filing of tax returns, Quickbooks Pro Advisor Certificaton, and other services to clients not only in Southern Illinois, but around the nation.

In 2010, Alexander Monroe came into the business as well to make a fourth generatjion business involving the Monroe family. He is maintaning the tradition and helping to make a difference for our clients.
