Questions new owners ask.
Is this really free?
CostYes. You never pay AccountantHelpMe. We may earn a referral fee from providers we introduce you to, and you are never required to hire anyone.
I just got my approval. What first?
Getting startedSave your formation documents, get your free EIN from IRS.gov, and write an operating agreement. The playbook walks you through each one.
Do I need an accountant right away?
TaxesIdeally before your first big sale. An accountant helps you choose how your LLC is taxed and plan for quarterly estimated payments.
Someone wants a fee to file my BOI report.
ScamsU.S. companies no longer have to file BOI reports under FinCEN’s August 2026 final rule. Ignore letters or emails asking you to pay for one.
Check other letters hereCan you help with more than accounting?
ServicesYes. We can connect you with web design, domain and email, business insurance, a business phone, branding, and an attorney for contracts and agreements.
Will I get spammed?
PrivacyNo. We only share your details with the providers you ask to hear from, and only after you submit a request.
