S-Corp Transformation Service
Lower your tax bill &
protect your assets
You’re probably here because you’ve heard that S-Corporation status can offer a lot of tax benefits to your business. And now you want to know whether your business should be operating as an S-Corp—and how much money it could save you.
Or maybe you’ve already filed your S-Corp paperwork through LegalZoom or another corporate filing service, but now you’re wondering what to do next.
After all, operating as an S-Corp has specific payroll, reporting, and financial requirements—and you don’t want to mess those up. In addition, corporate filing services won’t give you any advice about how to implement the actual tax strategies that will save you money with your new S-Corp status.
So you’re left wondering, “What do I do now?”
Cue the S-Corp Transformation Service!
Rather than just filing your initial S-Corp paperwork (and leaving you to figure out the rest), this comprehensive service has been designed to:
Address your tax strategy
Set up your payroll system
Optimize your accounting procedures
Provide one-on-one financial education
File your first tax return
In short, the S-Corp Transformation Service is a comprehensive approach that addresses ALL the financial components of your business related to S-Corp status.
Why is it important to have a comprehensive approach to S-Corp formation?
Because a comprehensive approach will help prevent you from making expensive mistakes like:
- Paying yourself too little through payroll, which potentially sets your business up for an irrevocable loss of S-Corp status—as well as personally owing back taxes and penalties to the state and IRS.
- Paying yourself too much through payroll in a misguided attempt to meet the legal requirements (which may negate your S-Corp tax benefits and land you with a higher tax bill than before you created an S-Corp).
- Adding types of shareholders to your business that aren’t allowed, which immediately disqualifies your business from operating as an S-Corp and means your tax bill goes up.
The S-Corp Transformation Service steers you clear of any potential errors by focusing on how the different financial components of your business interact with each other. We will answer questions like:
“How much should I pay myself this year?”
“How much would I pay myself if my business tripled its gross revenue next year?”
“How much would I pay myself if my business brings in significantly less?”
“Does it make sense to add this partner as a shareholder?”
“How much do I pay in estimated taxes now?”
“How should I plan to pay estimated taxes in future scenarios?”
“Erin has changed the course of my business.”
Erin has changed the course of my business by giving it a financial structure better suited for success. She helped move my business from an LLC to an S-Corp while also setting me up on a payroll system and schedule. I can’t recommend Erin enough for her ability to make intimidating terminology and systems both easy and understandable.

“Erin was a critical part of the financial foundation of my business.”
Erin was a critical part of the financial foundation of my business. I worked with her right before my business was able to hit six figures in revenue and it’s no coincidence- her guidance is clear, she puts you in full control and power of your finances, and she is also the sweetest and most patient person to learn from. I recommend working with Erin to any entrepreneur wanting to elevate their own knowledge and their business future.

“Erin has saved me thousands of dollars & brought me peace.”
Erin’s made the process of managing the financial part of my business easy. She was supportive, and understood the needs I’d have as my business grew.

She has helped me save thousands of dollars, and brought me peace.

S-Corp Transformation Service Logistics:
The S-Corp Transformation Service is customized to you and your business.
If you’d like to move forward, please click the “GET STARTED” button. This will take you to a form where you will be asked to submit some general information about your business (such as revenue, current legal entity status, number of employees, etc.).
After we receive this initial information, we will respond to you within two business days to schedule an initial consultation. During this call, we’ll talk about your business, its needs, and how S-Corp status could help you. After that conversation, I’ll send over a detailed proposal with specifics of what this service would cover for you and your business, as well as the price.
Business owners who come to me for this service are in a wide range of situations: some of them have already created the S-Corp structure with a lawyer and need help with the payroll and tax strategy side; some come with an LLC entity that needs to be dissolved because they are no longer based in the same state, as well as needing their first S-Corp created for their new state; some come with no accounting records; and some come with a pristine QuickBooks Online account. In addition, some situations will require substantial state and federal filing fees, while for others the fees will be much less.
Given the wide range of situations, the price range for the S-Corp Transformation Service varies greatly. To give you general sense of the price, however, you should know that most businesses end up paying at least several thousand dollars for this service. For businesses where cash flow is a concern, I have partnered with a financing company that works with my clients. Most of my clients who use this financing option pay less than $250/month until their balance is paid off.
The S-Corp Transformation Service is a legitimate tax-deductible expense for your business.
