Why is Cleer the best choice for startup bookkeeping?

Even if you currently have minimal income and expenses, it pays to do it right from the right start. The Bootstrapping bookkeeping package is geared for the smallest startup to keep their books in order from day one, and make sure all tax obligations are met as you grow, year over year. This plan also provides you with a dedicated bookkeeper, quarterly reviews and an annual tax consultation.

• We start with a consultation call to assess your particular needs and accounts.. Then we create a custom chart of accounts, set up your accounting tech stack for bookkeeping, payroll, expense management, invoicing, and recurring tax payments right from the beginning and have everything on a schedule so a deadline is never forgotten.

• Support is provided for accounting on a cash basis with the books balanced on a monthly basis- delivered by the end of the next month. This plan covers bookkeeping for companies transacting with up to $5k in expenses and/or income per month, annual tax returns for federal taxes (including one form 5472 if needed), one state tax return, and one franchise tax return such as the Delaware Franchise Tax after one year or with annual plans.

What’s Included?

• Monthly Bookkeeping – using Xero software, we produce a monthly P&L and Balance Sheets ready to show investors in easy-to-read, customizable reports. We help with quarterly tax payments, and advise on any issues.
• Fully Prepared Federal and State Taxes – Your next year’s tax return is included, as our team analyzes your financials to prepare accurate, optimized tax returns.
• Delaware Franchise Tax – Annual preparation and filing of this required report.
• Year-End Tax Planning Package – Access to one of our Tax Advisors who can help you strategize for next year and answer questions specific to your company.

In short, we do it for you!

Are you ready to focus on your business and let someone else take on the burden of your tax and accounting compliance?

This package is designed to support your company financially while you scale – to keep you constantly ready for the next fundraising round. This provides bookkeeping using US GAAP and tax standards for a very active subsidiary of a foreign company operating in the US or a US company and one foreign subsidiary for US tax.

• We can support accrual or cash-based accounting with this package, this also provides for conversion of foreign subsidiary books and year-end reports to conform US tax needs.

• Includes complex US tax returns such as a US corporate tax return (1120) containing a Form 5471 informational return of a foreign corporation, or a Foreign Owned Disregarded Entity tax return (1120 and 5472) plus either an 1040NR for an individual non-US owner, or form 1120F return for a foreign parent company, including protective returns or returns to claim a treaty-position.

Why should I file for R&D Tax Credits?

Research and Development Credits are the most lucrative tax credit for startups, largely because they are claimed against U.S.payroll taxes. This gives an immediate cashflow benefit, even when no income taxes are due.  We offer R&D Tax Credits preparation service for a low flat-rate fee of $1500 for up to five qualifying workers, then just $100 per additional employee or independent contractor. This can provide tens of thousands of dollars in savings over percentage-based credit services.

This flat-fee structure allows us to meet the stringent IRS due diligence requirements, in order that our clients reap the full benefit of this tax credit while documenting qualifications for the credit in advance of filing. GBS reviews business processes and development expenditures in detail, to ensure our clients actually receive the credit they applied for, without disqualifications. We not only add value for the return, but also accuracy and integrity.

‍

Why is Cleer the best accountant to prepare my R&D Tax Credit?

‍

Many other companies offer R&D credits with SaaS-generated reports without any professional oversight. These companies provide inflated credits with low accuracy rates, and fees charged on a contingency basis- upwards of 20% of the promised credit! This leads to both high fees and an extreme risk of audit, taking advantage of companies who need these tax breaks to fuel innovation. At Cleer, we guarantee that your R&D Credit Report is prepared with personal care by a qualified tax accountant, and reviewed by a CPA or Enrolled Agent. Get the best of both worlds- the tax credit you deserve, and peace of mind it was prepared correctly.

‍

We stand by our process. In fact, if during the due diligence process we discover that you are not, in fact, eligible for the R & D tax credit, we will give you a full refund. That's how committed we are to serving the best interests of our clients.

Why is Cleer the best accountant to prepare my R&D Tax Credit?

‍

Many other companies offer R&D credits with SaaS-generated reports without any professional oversight. These companies provide inflated credits with low accuracy rates, and fees charged on a contingency basis- upwards of 20% of the promised credit! This leads to both high fees and an extreme risk of audit, taking advantage of companies who need these tax breaks to fuel innovation. At Cleer, we guarantee that your R&D Credit Report is prepared with personal care by a qualified tax accountant, and reviewed by a CPA or Enrolled Agent. Get the best of both worlds- the tax credit you deserve, and peace of mind it was prepared correctly.

‍

We stand by our process. In fact, if during the due diligence process we discover that you are not, in fact, eligible for the R & D tax credit, we will give you a full refund. That's how committed we are to serving the best interests of our clients.
