Compliance
Know what is due, and who owns it.
Annual reports, franchise tax, sales tax, payroll returns, notices, and good-standing responsibilities coordinated on one calendar, with a named owner per obligation.

Responsibility matrix
Who owns what across the compliance year.
Clarity beats coverage claims. Every obligation has one owner and one review path.
| Obligation | Owner | How it's handled |
|---|---|---|
| Annual report | Institution | Prepared, reviewed, and submitted per state schedule. |
| Franchise / entity tax | Institution + client | Prepared with client sign-off before payment. |
| Sales tax filings | Institution + provider | Coordinated with the sales-tax provider on registered jurisdictions. |
| Payroll returns | Payroll provider | Filed by the payroll provider; reconciled by Institution. |
| Federal income tax | Licensed tax pro | Prepared and filed by an appropriately licensed professional. |
| Notices | Institution | Routed same-day to the responsible owner. |
Document readiness
What has to be true for the calendar to run.
Entity record
Formation, state qualifications, ownership current.
Signatory access
Named signers on file for filings requiring signature.
Prior filings
Prior-year filings archived and accessible.
Payment method
Verified payment path for filings that require fees.
Multi-entity
One rhythm across every registered jurisdiction.
When a business qualifies in additional states or spins up a new entity, its obligations join the existing calendar rather than starting from scratch. Notices arrive against the specific entity, but the review path stays the same.
Boundaries
What compliance coordination does not do.
- We do not opine on tax positions, that is a licensed tax professional's role.
- We do not represent the entity in enforcement matters.
- State agencies control processing time.
- Sales-tax nexus determinations sit with a qualified sales-tax specialist.
Frequently asked
Does compliance replace my tax preparer?
No. Income-tax returns are prepared by an appropriately licensed tax professional. We coordinate the calendar and the records that support them.What happens when a notice arrives?
It is scanned the same business day, logged against the entity, and routed to the named owner with a written next action.Do you handle multi-state?
Yes. Each entity's registered jurisdictions map into a shared calendar with per-jurisdiction obligations.
