Being others-centered is what we’re about – both as an organization and individually.
Serving others has long been a cornerstone of Five Stone Tax Advisers. Whether it be through our tax-resolution services or donating our time and treasures to charities, being others-centered is what we’re about – both as an organization and individually.

So you can imagine our delight upon reading the recent Chicago Tribune article, Be Generous: It’s a Simple Way to Stay Healthier, which cites research studies indicating that serving others actually improves mental and physical health, including a longer lifespan.Upon digging a little deeper, you can find numerous medical studies on the connection between selflessness, health, and happiness. All reach the same conclusion: the individual who gives his time, talents, and/or treasures is actually the one who benefits most. See for yourself:
