The details owners most often miss
Basis tracking, reasonable compensation, accountable-plan reimbursements, and documentation of related-party transactions rarely cause problems in the year they are handled loosely — they cause problems years later, during an examination or a sale. We maintain these records as part of ongoing work rather than reconstructing them under pressure.
State and local obligations
Remote employees, marketplace sales, and out-of-state customers create filing obligations that follow activity rather than headquarters. We review nexus, registrations, and sales-tax exposure alongside income tax.
Frequently asked questions
Should my LLC elect S corporation status?
Sometimes. The evaluation involves profit levels, reasonable compensation, payroll costs, retirement-plan goals, state treatment, and whether owners are U.S. persons. It is a modeling exercise, not a rule of thumb.
Do you work with my existing bookkeeper?
Yes. We can review and close the books your team maintains, or handle the accounting directly — whichever produces reliable, tax-ready financials.
