[ajug-members] OT: consultant incorporation tips / resources?

[Bill Siggelkow]

Curt,

I incorportated using http://www.incorporatega.com. You can do the  
incorporation yourself, but it's a lot hassle free if you use a firm  
like this. You can also get it done a lot faster. I think the cost is  
around $500.  My corporation is an S-corp.

Brian's suggestion about using QuickBooks is right on. However, you  
may *also* want to have an accountant. I use QuickBooks and also have  
an accountant. I find the accountant invaluable when it comes tax time.

Feel free to contact me if you want to discuss any details.
