Help with maintaining LLCs

Anyone have tips on maintaining LLCs? We created an umbrella structured an LLC with Anderson Business Advisors. Their monthly service is quite expensive and we would like to detangle from their services and manage the LLCs on our own. Would love advice on how you all maintain your bookkeeping, yearly filings, meeting minutes, etc. Any programs out there that help with this? Thanks!

For bookkeeping and financial management, using accounting software such as QuickBooks, Xero, or Wave can streamline the process. Regular reconciliation of accounts and maintaining a clear separation between personal and business finances is crucial. For yearly filings, ensure you are aware of and adhere to state-specific requirements for annual or biennial reports, and timely file both federal and state taxes using software like TurboTax or H&R Block, or consult a tax professional if needed. Keeping documents organized with cloud storage solutions like Google Drive or Dropbox is also highly beneficial.

For compliance, using templates for meeting minutes and maintaining a compliance calendar can help manage important dates for filings, renewals, and meetings. Tools like LegalNature offer templates and document storage for compliance purposes. Additionally, using management tools such as Gusto for payroll and benefits, Trello or Asana for task management, and Evernote or Notion for document organization can enhance efficiency.

    Some accountants do this as a service.

    This depends heavily on the tax election of your entity.

    It can be as simple as a folder in a google drive with reminders set to create each required artifact. E.g. Meeting minutes, cap table, account reconciliations etc. Make sure you are creating everything your prior firm was on the same cadence.

    What was the initial setup fee?  

    How about the monthly recurring cost?
