Extensive Industry Expertise
There are numerous reasons to operate your business under an LLC or corporation, but there are numerous financial industry-specific nuances to navigate. But, it is still possible to leverage an entity if done correctly. Our team will help make the entity setup process turnkey and effective for business owners.
Benefits of Correct Entity Setup
Using an entity to operate your business can only help you, and every business owner should consider using one. You’ll benefit from decreased personal liability as an owner, increase your ability to start sharing equity & develop phantom equity plans, and benefit from potential tax savings.
Ongoing Support for Growing Practices
SRG’s team of experts help you establish a robust entity set up designed to grow with your business. We can also provide the ongoing maintenance support to keep the entity current at all times through our Entity Maintenance Program, allowing owners to focus on more productive activities.

SRG is fantastic. They worked with us and explained all our questions. They had meetings with our accountant to coordinate the setting up of the entity and S-corp. We were very happy with all of their explanations and guidance. The final binder we received was great to keep all of our information in and make sure we had everything set up correctly. (…)

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with SRG. They were wonderful to work with, always responsive, on top of us but never pushy, gave us great advice and helped us implement. We asked quite a bit from them and asked that it be done in a tight timeline and they found a way to make it work and were ALWAYS very professional and kind. (…)

The experience in setting up an entity was a good growth experience for me in investigating deeply the options that we have available with all the complexities that exist. (…) SRG was helpful in giving me the confidence that the path chosen was the right one and provided the flexibility that we will need down the road.

FAQs for Entity Setup and Support
There are several reasons to set up and operate your business as an entity:
- Ability to share/sell
incremental equity and develop phantom equity plans - Formalized ownership structure
- Greater continuity
- Potential tax savings
- Reduced personal liability
Compared with businesses in other industries, the flow of revenue in the financial services industry necessitates additional steps because you are paid directly. This results in different regulatory nuances that you will need to know how to navigate. Our firm works exclusively in this industry, ensuring that you are not only compliant for internal purposes, but also for tax and legal purposes. We collaborate extensively with your CPA to ensure this happens and that he/she understands the background on the issue and the solution.
We request you complete a questionnaire. The questionnaire includes the following sections to complete: Business Formation Information, Shareholder/Member Information, Director Information, Officer Information, and Accounting Information.
Meeting Minutes should be completed annually. Most states also require the filing of an annual report. Best practice is to review your entity setup annually prior to the due date of your annual report. You will receive a checklist from us to help with the review and we will send you a reminder notice prior to the due date of your annual report. SRG can also help support you on an ongoing basis for a small additional fee, making it even easier on our clients to have and use an entity.
SRG has years of experience creating entities for our clients. We know your industry. And, we have helped our client’s family’s and legal counsel put these plans into action when something has happened. This is the experience we bring to each client’s plan.
We strive for excellence and, as a result, we are always learning, adapting, and revising our deliverables and resources to ensure that you receive a fair, accurate, and timely solution as the industry changes.
We are neutral. We are not affiliated with a broker-dealer or custodian and can provide the advice that is best for you. We also pride ourselves on service – providing high-touch, high-quality solutions to our clients.

For many services, we discourage you from including staff members early on in these calls so both you and SRG may speak freely, but we leave this decision up to each client.
