Small Business Incorporation
Many businesses take advantage of the tax incintives offered by incorporation. Whether you are forming a LLC, S-Corporation or a C-Corporation, you will need the expertise of an accounting firm that ensures all rules and regulations are complied with.
A LLC is a business structure that combines the pass-through taxation of a sole proprietorship or a partnership with the limited liability of a corporation. LLC’s are not a separate taxable being.
A subchapter S-Corporation is a corporation that meets the IRS requirements to be taxed under subchapter s of the Internal Revenue Code. A corporation with 100 shareholders or less will be taxed as a partnership.
A C-Corporation is a structure that businesses can choose to define themselves under in order to limit their owners’ legal and financial liabilities. C-Corporations are seperate beings from their owners.
A LLP is a partnership in which some or all partners have limited liabilities. In a LLP you are not responsible for any of your partners wrong-doings.
QuickBooks Training

We look forward to sharing our knowledge with you, and getting you fully trained in Quickbooks as the set-up of your chart of accounts is critical in the proper operation of your company.
Controller Services
Many companies are at the point where they are exploding with growth. Sometimes the growth is so fast, that getting net-profit on track is a challenge. Typically, rapid business growth is associated with high-debt increased by immediate expenses. Many times, those expenses can be trimmed up to as much as 100% and averaging 40% savings on net bottom line.
For smaller businesses it may be a worry about money to hire a full-time contract controller and most of the time, the contract controller position is less than a 6-month commitment. We’ve taken that role several times and part of the reasons hired are: Corporate spending reductions, making the Inc 500 or Inc 5000 list, implementing a company-wide accounting system, training and evaluating accounting staff, and creating isolated accounting reports based on specific criteria. That being said, we are well-versed in the controller part of the accounting system and have several satisfied references where we made an amazing difference for a client.
Forensic Accounting
Many times in the small business world, we rely on the trust of the staff we put in place to do their job. Unfortunately, there are rare occasions in which these employees become untrustworthy and may in fact be taking money from right out from under your nose. EC3 has a network of highly skilled accounting staff who specialize in these scenarios, so let us help you.
Mergers & Acquisitions
As there is an increase in accounting and finance in todays business environment, it is hard to get a qualified contract controller and their services. Here at EC3, we can be of a help. For smaller businesses it may be a worry about money to hire a full-time contract controller, and you may be wanting a contract controller for a limited time. That being said, we are willing to extend our services for a limited time and permanently.
Reviewed and Audited Financials
If you have answered yes to any of these question, then you will more-than-likely need to have your financials reviewed or audited. Its very important to use an accounting firm who is familiar with this process, and it is even more important to hire an accounting firm who stands behind their stamp of approval. EC3 is well versed in performing reviewed and audited financials, because we are your small business growth experts.
