Schultz & Associates, CPA has been providing start-up CPA business accounting since its establishment in 2003. Over the past 20 years, many of our clients who started as start-ups continue to work with us, and we have grown alongside them. We understand that as businesses evolve, their needs change, and we are adept at adjusting our services to meet those changing requirements. Startup accounting support is important to us.
Entity Selection
Choosing the right entity type for your start-up is crucial. While you may have heard that an “S Corporation” is the best option, we believe in a thorough process that helps you understand the various entity choices available. We will guide you in selecting the entity type that aligns best with your goals and needs. Sometimes, the additional time and paperwork associated with an S Corporation may outweigh the income tax benefits.
Business Formation
Once you have come up with a clever name for your start-up, we can assist you in filing the necessary paperwork, such as the Articles of Organization or Articles of Incorporation, with the State of Michigan or the relevant state where you plan to organize. But first, check to see if somebody already is using your preferred name, with the Michigan Search for Business Entity page. After completing this step, we will help you obtain a Federal Tax Identification Number from the IRS, enabling you to open a bank account. Additionally, we will provide support in registering your business for sales tax and any other required taxes.
Accounting and Bookkeeping Systems
After formalizing your start-up, it’s time to establish an accounting and bookkeeping system. While some clients can manage with an Excel spreadsheet, most start-ups opt for QuickBooks. Schultz & Associates, CPA will provide the necessary support to help you become proficient with QuickBooks. As your start-up grows, we will be here to revise and adjust your accounting and bookkeeping system to accommodate your changing needs.

We believe in empowering our clients and providing training so that you can handle certain tasks in-house. You determine your comfort level, and we deliver the services you need. We offer service packages tailored to fit your needs and budget. Rest assured that we are always available to answer your emails, texts, and phone calls in a timely manner. As your start-up grows, we can expand our services to support your evolving needs.
