Who it's for
For founders who want to start on solid ground.
Setting up a business is exciting — and easy to get wrong in ways you won’t notice until tax time. The wrong setup can mean messy books, missed elections, and avoidable headaches down the road.
We handle the formation and the tax setup together, so you’re not stitching together a filing service, a bookkeeper, and a CPA later.
This is a good fit if you’re:
- Starting a new business, startup, or side venture
- A freelancer ready to move from sole proprietor to LLC
- An owner who wants formation and tax handled by one accountable firm
Let’s get your business started right.
Book ConsultationWhat's included
From idea to operating — properly set up.
- LLC formation filing with the state, prepared and submitted for you
- EIN (Employer Identification Number) obtained from the IRS
- Tax setup guidance — how your entity will be taxed and what that means for you
- Entity and tax-election discussion — we’ll walk through the options (for example, whether an S-corp election may make sense) so you make an informed choice
- A clean handoff into bookkeeping and tax, so your first year runs smoothly
Please note: IMAAR Associates CPA, PLLC is a CPA firm, not a law firm. We handle formation filings and the tax side of getting set up. For legal questions — liability protection, contracts, operating agreements, disputes — we’ll tell you when it’s time to involve a licensed attorney.
Why it matters
The cost of getting it wrong.
A business set up carelessly tends to create the same problems: books that don’t reconcile, a tax election missed at the deadline, an EIN tied to the wrong details, and a founder unsure what they actually owe.
Because we also do your bookkeeping and taxes, we set your business up the way it should be maintained — not in a way we’d have to unwind next year. That’s the advantage of formation from a firm that sticks around after the paperwork is filed.
