Start year one clean instead of fixing it in April
A fixed-fee setup package for new Washington businesses. The goal is to get registrations, filings and books right from the start, at a price that makes sense in year one.
Registrations
Most businesses need a Washington business license, and many need city endorsements. If you buy goods for resale or subcontract construction work, a reseller permit matters too. We confirm what you have and what is missing.
Your excise filing schedule
The Department of Revenue assigns you a filing frequency. Returns are due even when you owe nothing, and missed returns bring penalties. We put your dates on the calendar and file them.
Books from day one
A bookkeeping setup that matches your industry, connected bank feeds, and a monthly routine, so your first return comes from real numbers instead of a shoebox.
Payroll and L&I readiness
Hiring your first employee brings unemployment insurance, workers' comp, paid family leave and more. We make sure the accounts exist before the first paycheck.
The S-election question
An S-election can lower self-employment tax once profits are high enough, but it adds payroll and a separate return. For a calendar-year business the election is generally due by March 15 to apply that year. We run your numbers and tell you plainly whether it is worth it yet.
