Business & Corporation

We incorporate your business (LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp) and help you choose the structure that fits you best from a tax standpoint — with all the paperwork in order from day one. We also handle amendments to your registration, registered-agent changes, and the S-Corp election when your business is ready for that step.

We prepare your LLC or corporation’s returns and plan tax strategies with you to lawfully reduce what you pay — and to make sure tax season never catches you off guard. Structuring and restructuring when the entity you have is no longer the one that serves you.

Forming a company isn’t the end of it — every year it has to be kept alive. We file your annual report with the state so your LLC or corporation doesn’t fall out of good standing (and you avoid the penalties and reinstatement, which cost far more), keep your sales tax filings current if you sell to the public, and handle the licenses your line of work requires. If you’ve already missed a deadline, we fix that too.

We keep your books current month to month — in QuickBooks or with full reconciliation. Never kept books? No problem: from your bank statements we reconstruct every transaction of your business from scratch, delivering real financial statements — profit & loss, balance sheet, everything ready at tax time or for a loan application.

We run your employees’ payroll — checks, calculations, payroll taxes and the quarterly forms — with no errors or delays, so you can focus on your business. More about payroll →

When your insurance carrier audits your policy (workers’ comp or general liability, for example), or a payroll audit comes your way, we prepare and present the figures they ask for — so your premium reflects what you actually owe and you don’t overpay.

If your corporation has a problem with the IRS — a letter, an audit, a balance due — we represent you directly before them. Corporate audits, payment plans, and a defense of your numbers with the documentation in hand. More about IRS audits →

Asked for a “CPA letter” for a loan, a lease or another application? We are not CPAs: we are tax preparers led by an IRS Enrolled Agent, and we issue a tax preparer letter confirming which years of returns we prepared for you and what those returns show. Lenders normally accept it, but ask yours before you order one. What the letter says and what to ask your lender → (in Spanish) We also prepare your FinCEN BOI (Beneficial Ownership) report when your company requires it.

Closing well matters as much as opening well. We terminate your S-Corp election and dissolve your LLC or corporation properly — with the state and with the IRS — so you stop getting billed fees and returns for a business that no longer operates.

We help you make better tax and financial decisions: how to structure your business, how to grow it and win new clients, what each decision means, and how to start building wealth. An ally all year long, not just at tax time.

You don't have to be in Chicago. These three we do for businesses anywhere in the country, fully remote:

• Company formation in any state — we assemble and file the paperwork for your LLC or corporation in whichever state you choose. We handle the filing; we don't give legal advice on each state's laws.
• Federal business taxes & tax strategy — business returns, S-Corp elections, restructuring and federal tax planning, for businesses across the country.
• IRS representation in all 50 states — as an Enrolled Agent I hold a federal license that lets me represent taxpayers before the IRS in all 50 states.
