New York & New Jersey LLCs

Form your LLC with a CPA, not a form‑filler.

We file your Articles, handle New York's publication requirement, get your EIN, and set up the tax side correctly from day one. The CPA who forms your LLC is the one who files its returns.

What we handle

  • 01Articles of Organization. Filed with the NY Department of State ($200 state fee).
  • 02Publication. Two newspapers, six weeks, Certificate of Publication within 120 days.
  • 03EIN. Your federal tax ID, so you can open a bank account and pay people.
  • 04Operating agreement. Required in New York, and the document your bank and partners ask for.
  • 05Tax setup. Default or S-corp? Sales tax? NYC taxes? Decided before the first dollar.

Start your LLC

Tell us a little about the business.

The filing takes a day. The tax choices last for years.

S-corp or not

Electing S-corp treatment can cut self-employment tax once profits are there, and it adds payroll. We run your numbers before you choose.

New York's extras

Publication, the annual LLC filing fee, and NYC's Unincorporated Business Tax all catch new owners by surprise. Not ours.

One firm, year-round

Bookkeeping, payroll, sales tax and your returns, from the same CPAs who set the LLC up. No hand-offs, no re-explaining.

Questions owners ask us

What is the New York publication requirement?+

Within 120 days of forming, a New York LLC must publish a notice in two newspapers chosen by the county clerk, once a week for six weeks, then file a Certificate of Publication with the state. Skip it and the LLC's authority to do business is suspended. Newspaper costs vary a lot by county, so we tell you the cost up front.

Why use a CPA instead of an online filing service?+

Filing the form is the easy part. The decisions that cost money are tax ones: whether to elect S-corp treatment and when, whether NYC's Unincorporated Business Tax applies, New York's annual LLC filing fee, payroll, sales tax and books. We set those up with you, and we're the firm that does your returns afterward.

Should my LLC be taxed as an S corporation?+

Sometimes. Once profits are high enough, paying yourself a reasonable salary through an S-corp election can cut self-employment tax, but it adds payroll and a separate return. We run the numbers for your situation before you file anything.

Do you form LLCs in New Jersey too?+

Yes. We have an office in Freehold and work with owners on both sides of the river. New Jersey has no publication requirement, but it has its own registration and annual report.

I already have an LLC. Can you still help?+

Yes. We regularly catch up missed publication filings, change tax elections, and take over bookkeeping and returns for existing LLCs.
