For bookkeepers and bookkeeping firms

You already have the client. Stop sending them away

You keep the books, so clients ask you about forming an LLC, electing S-corp, the registered agent, and the annual report, and today you have to point them elsewhere. Partner with File.Business and say yes to all of it, by referral or under your own brand, without ever stepping outside what a bookkeeper does.

The question you cannot answer today

Can you set up my LLC? Right now the answer is no

You see the client's whole financial picture, so it is natural they ask you to form the entity, add a registered agent, or file the annual report. But those are filings, not bookkeeping, so you send them to a filing site, and sometimes that site turns around and pitches them on the very books you keep. The gap between what you do and what they need is where you lose them.

File.Business closes that gap. Through a partnership, you offer formation, registered agent, and compliance filings, we do the paperwork, and you stay firmly within a bookkeeper's role while the client stays yours.

  • Entity questions you cannot bill
  • Someone else pitching your clients
  • Deadlines you have no view into
  • Revenue handed away for free
Partnered with File.Business
  • You say yes to the whole request
  • Filings done by us, not you
  • Clients stay inside your firm
  • Every deadline on one calendar
  • Revenue share on the work

Everything you can finally say yes to

These are the asks that used to send a client elsewhere. Toggle the ones you hear, and watch how much of it a partnership covers.

How the partnership runs

From first request to a service you just offer

Five steps, in the right order. Select one to see the detail.

Step 1

Pick referral or white-label

Referral is the simplest, co-branded and revenue share. White-label puts your firm's name on everything the client sees. We help you choose based on how much you want to own the experience.

As light or as branded as you want.
Model: CHOSEN
Brand approach set
Ready to set up
Step 2

Set up your workspace

We create your workspace, add your team, and apply your branding if you chose white-label. It takes a short call, not a project.

Your workspace, ready in a call.
Workspace: READY
Team added
Branding applied
Step 3

Say yes to the next request

The next time a client asks you to set up their LLC or file an annual report, you say yes. Add them to your workspace and the filing starts, often the same week.

The request you used to decline, accepted.
Client: ADDED
Request captured
Filing queued
Step 4

We do the filing

File.Business handles the state and federal paperwork, the registered agent, and the deadlines. You never touch a form, and the client sees your firm getting it done.

Filed by us, credited to you. On one calendar.
Filing: DONE
Registered agent set
Client impressed
Step 5

Track deadlines and earn

Every client's renewals live in your workspace so nothing lapses, and you earn revenue share or margin on the work. Offer it across your book of clients whenever they ask.

One workspace, every deadline, revenue earned.
Renewals: TRACKED

How this compares for a bookkeeper

Built to fill your gap, not to take your clients

Most filing services want your client. Here is the difference.

The honest version. A complex tax question still belongs with a CPA and a legal structure with an attorney, and nothing here is legal advice. What File.Business does is run the routine formation and compliance filings behind your books so you keep the client. Compare on the comparison hub.

BosAIPartner workspace, Ledgerly Bookkeeping

A client wants me to form their LLC. Am I allowed to do that?

Yes, through the partnership. Filing formation documents is not the practice of law or accounting, and File.Business does the actual filing while you keep the relationship. You are not giving legal advice, so you stay right inside a bookkeeper's role. I have it queued under your workspace.

They also asked about an S-corp election. Can I handle that?

We can file the S-corp election, but whether it is right for them is a tax judgment that belongs with their CPA or tax pro. The clean split is: they decide, we file. I have flagged it so you can loop in their tax advisor before we submit.

Does the client see your name anywhere?

Only if you want. On white-label, everything the client touches says Ledgerly, from intake to the compliance calendar, and we stay invisible. On referral it is co-branded. You control it. See white-label.
From a bookkeeper

I stopped saying you will have to go elsewhere

Clients constantly asked me to set up their LLC or file the annual report, and I hated pointing them to a website. With File.Business white-label, I just say yes now, they never leave, and the filings happen under my name while I never touch a state form. One client I sent to a filing site years ago had been poached for bookkeeping. That does not happen anymore.

For the questions bookkeepers actually ask

Straight answers on scope, models, and brand

Can I offer entity formation if I am not a CPA or attorney?
Yes. Filing formation documents and acting as a registered agent are not the practice of law or accounting, and through a partnership File.Business does the filing while you keep the client relationship. You are not giving legal or tax advice, so you stay firmly within what a bookkeeper can do.
What can I finally say yes to?
The requests you get all the time: form an LLC or corporation, get an EIN, set up a registered agent, file the annual report, register for sales tax, and handle beneficial ownership where it applies. You coordinate, we file, and the client never has to go find a separate service.
How does the partnership pay me?
Through referral revenue share or the margin you set under white-label. Either way you earn on work you used to send away for free, and you keep the client relationship you have already built through their books. See the referral program.
Will my client know it is File.Business?
Only if you want them to. With white-label the client sees your brand from intake through the compliance calendar. With referral it is co-branded. You choose how visible we are. See white-label.
I already keep their books. Why add this?
Because the entity and compliance side sits right next to the books, and clients assume you can handle it. Filling that gap makes you stickier, keeps clients from wandering to a filing site that may pitch them on bookkeeping, and adds revenue without adding a filing desk.
Do I have to track state deadlines myself?
No. Every client's annual reports, registered agent renewals, and other filings sit on one compliance calendar in your workspace, and File.Business handles the filings. You get visibility without the manual tracking. See the compliance calendar.
How does beneficial ownership reporting work now?
Under the 2025 interim final rule, companies formed in the United States are exempt from filing a beneficial ownership report, while entities formed abroad and registered here generally still report. We keep the current rules loaded so you can answer clients accurately without following the changes yourself.
How do I get started?
Talk to our partnerships team, choose referral or white-label, and we set up your workspace. Your first client can be onboarded the same week, and pricing for clients is published and transparent. Talk to us.
