Expert services / Compliance
Compliance Support
Every filing your company owes, on a calendar, filed on time: state annual reports, franchise and privilege taxes, sales tax, 1099s and registrations.
Expert services are scoped and priced separately from your software plan.
The problem worth solving
Compliance, with a clearer path.
A small company owes a dozen filings a year to different agencies on different dates. None of them is hard; missing one costs a late fee, and missing a few gets the company administratively dissolved, which can freeze a bank account or void a contract.
How we help
We map every recurring filing your entity owes in each state where it is registered, put them on one calendar, prepare and file them, and keep each confirmation in your document vault.
What comes together
Software, assistance, and expertise.
The software
- Compliance calendar in your dashboard, by state and agency
- Document vault with every filed copy and confirmation
- Multi-state tracking for foreign registrations and sales tax
- 1099 preparation from the payments already in your books

Expert support
Our CPA and Chartered Accountant team prepares and files state reports, franchise and privilege tax returns, sales tax returns and 1099s, and tells you when a filing needs a decision from you.
The yearly list
What a typical small company files each year
The exact list depends on the entity type and the states involved. For most US LLCs and corporations it looks like this.
- 01
State annual or biennial report
Due every year or two in the state of formation and every state where the company is registered. Fees run from $0 to several hundred dollars; late filing adds penalties and eventually dissolution.
- 02
Franchise, privilege or minimum tax
Several states tax the entity itself: California's $800 franchise tax, Delaware's franchise tax, Tennessee's franchise and excise tax, Alabama's business privilege tax.
- 03
Sales tax returns
Monthly, quarterly or yearly in each state where the business has nexus and sells taxable goods or services, including SaaS in roughly half the states.
- 04
1099 forms
Due by January 31 for each contractor paid above the IRS threshold in the prior year: $600 for 2025 payments, $2,000 for payments made from 2026 on. Copies go to the IRS and, in some states, the state.
- 05
Registered agent and licences
A registered agent in every state of registration, and city or county business licences that renew on their own cycles.
- Beneficial ownership (BOI) reports: since FinCEN's rule of March 2025, made final in August 2026, companies formed in the United States no longer file them. Only foreign companies registered to do business in a US state still report.
- Payroll filings are handled through our payroll partner.
From here to handled
A clear process from the start.
- 01
Map

File
Annual reports, franchise taxes, sales tax returns and 1099s prepared and filed on schedule, with your approval where a figure is needed.
- 03
Keep
Each confirmation goes into your document vault, so good-standing questions from a bank, investor or buyer take minutes.

Talk to our teamNot if it was formed in the United States. FinCEN exempted US companies and US persons from beneficial ownership reporting in March 2025 and made that permanent with a final rule effective August 14, 2026. Foreign companies registered to do business in a US state still have to report.
Most states charge a late fee, then mark the company not in good standing, and after a grace period administratively dissolve it. A dissolved company can have trouble opening accounts, signing contracts or keeping its name, and reinstatement costs more than the report.
California charges an $800 minimum franchise tax every year, Tennessee charges franchise and excise tax with a minimum, Alabama charges a business privilege tax, and Delaware charges LLCs a flat annual tax. Many other states charge only a report fee. Our state guides list each one.
Yes, as part of compliance support we register, prepare and file sales tax returns in the states where you have nexus, from the sales already recorded in your books. If you are not sure where you have nexus, we start by checking.
Yes. We list what is overdue, the penalties involved and the order to fix them in, then file the catch-up reports and request reinstatement where a state has dissolved the company.
