Starting Your Business

Assistance with Entity Selection

If you are opening a new business or expanding an established business, you might not be sure of what type of entity to go with. Jeff Baker & Associates provide you advice on what entity is best for your company, and the tax laws related to each entity so that you can plan your business’s financial future.

S-Corporation Elections

We at JBA can assist you in figuring out if you qualify for a Sub Chapter S under the United States federal income tax purposes. Filing a Subchapter S federal income tax return allows the company to not pay federal income taxes, instead the income/loss is divided among the shareholders and they must report the income/loss on their individual income tax returns.

Business Financial and Strategic Planning
Smart business financial planning will help maximize your profits and earnings. It requires looking at several factors, including the necessary actions for sales and profit, who will implement them, and the financial gauging of how much they will cost and how money will return as profit. If you’re a business that is doing financial planning for the first time, let the financial professionals at JBA help. We can provide the tools that will help you understand what you need to increase profit, how much you’ll need to spend, and how much profit you can expect.

Business Bookkeeping & Finances

Pension and Profit Sharing Planning
To help employees in retirement, you might consider setting up a pension or profit sharing plan. A pension is a set amount of money that a person receives after retiring from or leaving accompany after a number of years. A profit sharing plan is where the employer contributes a certain amount of money to an employee’s retirement. See how you can plan and prepare for both with the financial professionals at JBA. We can help explain the benefits of each and help set up a business solution where a pension or profit sharing plan is doable.
Projections

Financial projections are important for continued success in your business. A financial projection often has the previous years’ income reflected in balance sheets and income statements. The next part of the projection is a forecast of what a business’s financial future will be, typically for the next five years. This can include income statements, balance sheets, budget expectations, and other important documents. If you require assistance putting together a financial projection, our financial professionals can help.
