Angel Banks
Founder & Principal, Mining Your Taxes LLC
Angel Banks started Mining Your Taxes with a simple conviction: every person and business deserves expert financial guidance — not just at tax time, but all year long. With over 13 years in the tax industry, she has built a practice grounded in deep expertise, clear communication, and genuine care for every client's financial future.
Based in Chicago, Angel works with individuals, families, and small businesses across a full range of needs — from personal tax returns to complex business planning, bookkeeping, and IRS advocacy. Her four-step approach — Analyze, Identify, Advise, Execute — ensures that every strategy actually gets implemented, not just talked about.
Clients consistently describe working with Angel as refreshingly personal. You work with the same expert year after year — someone who knows your goals, remembers your history, and proactively looks for ways to improve your position.

How We Work
Our Approach
Mining Your Taxes was built on a simple belief: everyone deserves tax services that go beyond filling out forms.
Relationships, Not Transactions
We take the time to understand your full financial picture — not just this year's return. Your long-term success is what drives us.
Clear Communication
No jargon. No surprises. We explain every decision, every option, and every number in plain English — so you always know where you stand.
Proactive Strategy
We don't wait for tax season to start thinking about your taxes. Year-round planning catches opportunities before deadlines close them.
Execution-Focused
Advice without action is just talk. Our four-step process — Analyze, Identify, Advise, Execute — ensures strategies actually get implemented.
