    Frequently Asked Questions

    I just registered my LLC—what do I need to do for accounting?

    You need a proper chart of accounts, a business bank account, and a system for tracking income and expenses. We'll help you set all of that up correctly from day one.

    Should I use an LLC or S-corp?

    It depends on your expected income and goals. We can discuss entity structure during our call and help you make the right choice for your situation.

    Do I need bookkeeping right away?

    Starting with good habits is easier than fixing a mess later. Even if you only have a few transactions, having a proper system prevents problems as you grow.

    What accounting software should I use?

    We recommend QuickBooks Online for most small businesses. We'll help you choose the right plan and set it up correctly.

    How do I pay myself from my business?

    It depends on your entity type. We'll explain owner draws, distributions, and payroll—and help you set up the right approach.

    Do I need a separate business bank account?

    Yes. Mixing personal and business finances creates problems for taxes and liability. We'll guide you on proper separation.

    What records should I be keeping?

    Bank statements, receipts, invoices, and contracts at minimum. We'll set up a simple system for document management.
