LLC formation, S-corp elections, EIN registration, operating agreements, and multi-state registrations. CPA-guided setup so your entity is structured correctly from day one — not reverse-engineered in year three.
Forming an LLC is trivially easy — the state charges $125 and a filing service will do it in 20 minutes. That's also the problem. Most formation services ask you five questions, file a generic certificate of formation, and email you a PDF. The critical decisions — entity type, tax treatment election, ownership structure, state of formation, operating agreement terms — are either glossed over or answered with defaults that work for nobody in particular.
A CPA-guided formation is different. Before anything gets filed, we walk through your specific situation: what the business will do, projected revenue, whether you'll have partners or employees, whether you'll raise capital, your personal tax situation. The right entity structure falls out of that conversation. Then we file correctly the first time — proper state, correct classification, optimized operating agreement, timely S-corp election if it makes sense, EIN registered, and all initial federal and state tax accounts opened.
We also handle the "formation-adjacent" setup: registered agent services, initial bookkeeping setup in QuickBooks, drafting operating agreements or bylaws, beneficial ownership reporting (BOI), business licenses, and multi-state foreign qualifications. Basically: everything between "I want to start a business" and "I'm legally operating correctly."
