Our Advisory Process
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help me decide between an LLC and an S corporation?
We can explain the federal tax treatment, accounting requirements, and owner-compensation considerations associated with different structures. Legal formation questions should be reviewed with an attorney.
Do I need monthly bookkeeping before requesting advisory services?
Not necessarily. Reliable financial records improve the quality of analysis, and we can discuss what information is needed for your specific question. See our Accounting & Bookkeeping services if your records need attention.
Can you help me understand why my business is profitable but short on cash?
We can review cash flow, receivables, payables, debt payments, inventory, and other factors that may explain the difference between accounting profit and available cash.
Do you assist with business budgets and forecasts?
Yes. Depending on the engagement, we can help develop budgets, cash flow projections, and scenario analyses using assumptions provided and reviewed with management.
Can you advise on the tax impact of expanding into another state?
We can review potential state tax and registration considerations and coordinate with our Multistate & International Tax service area.
Is business advisory the same as an audit or assurance engagement?
No. Business advisory focuses on analysis and decision support. It does not provide an audit opinion, review conclusion, or other assurance unless separately agreed under an appropriate engagement.
Can you obtain an EIN for my new business?
Yes. We assist clients with preparing and submitting EIN applications. IRS eligibility and processing requirements vary by applicant.
Can you form an LLC, LLP, or corporation in another state?
We assist with entity formation and foreign qualification across multiple states. State-specific requirements, licensing, fees, and registered agent availability vary.
Can you help establish a nonprofit corporation?
Yes. We assist with state nonprofit incorporation and applicable federal tax-exempt status applications. Incorporation does not automatically grant IRS tax-exempt status.
Do you offer registered agent services?
Yes, in supported states. Contact us to confirm availability and requirements for your entity and jurisdiction.
Is an S corporation a separate type of state incorporation?
Generally, an S corporation is a federal tax status elected by an eligible corporation or other eligible entity; we can assist with formation and the applicable IRS election.
