Why our Delaware C-Corp accounting service

Section 174 R&D capitalization handled

Post-TCJA Section 174 forces R&D expense capitalization (5-year amortization for US-based, 15-year foreign). We classify R&D correctly so you don't accidentally trigger massive book-vs-tax differences.

R&D credit (Section 41) captured

Up to 20% federal credit on qualified research expenses, refundable for qualified small businesses against payroll taxes. Most foreign-owner C-Corps miss this; ours don't.

Delaware franchise tax minimized

Default "Authorized Shares" method costs $200K+ for typical 10M-share startups. We use the "Assumed Par Value Capital" method, which usually drops it to $400-1,500/year.

Acquisition-grade books

QoE (quality of earnings) reports during acquisitions test bookkeeping discipline. Our books pass without restating; many cheap providers' don't.

Sample testimonial
"Series A QoE found 6 cheap-provider mistakes that would have cost us 2 weeks of restatement. Switched to CorpSec books mid-process; QoE signed off in 4 days."
