Why day one matters

Fixing a wrong setup costs many times more than getting it right on day one.

The wrong entity type. LLC, S-corp, C-corp, partnership — the choice changes your taxes, your liability, and how you pay yourself. Most founders pick by googling. We pick by the numbers.
No separation of money. Mixed personal and business accounts are the #1 cleanup we do — and the #1 red flag an auditor looks for.
No cash-flow plan. Profitable businesses die of cash-flow problems. A budget and a runway number from day one keeps yours off that list.

The start-up package

From idea to properly incorporated, in three steps.

Structure & incorporate

Entity selection driven by your actual numbers, incorporation paperwork filed, EIN and registrations handled.

Plan the money

Budget, cash-flow analysis, personal financial statements if you're raising or borrowing — and QuickBooks set up by a ProAdvisor.

Stay compliant

First-year filings calendared, estimated taxes scheduled, payroll ready to switch on with your first hire. Management consulting as you grow.

Fair questions

Before you book.

I haven't formed anything yet. Is it too early to talk?

It's the best time — entity choice is much easier to get right before you register than to change after. The consultation is free either way.

Can't an online service incorporate me for $99?

They'll file paperwork. They won't tell you whether an S-election saves you five figures, how to pay yourself, or what Virginia will expect from you in year one. That's the part that costs money to get wrong.

What does the start-up package cost?

Fixed quote at the free consultation, scoped to what you actually need — some founders need everything, some just need the entity decision and a budget.

Will you stick around after the launch?

That's the point — most start-up clients roll into a small monthly accounting engagement, so the person who set up your books is the one keeping them.
