FAQ

Startup CPAs in Indianapolis

When should a startup hire a CPA?

At incorporation, ideally — early decisions on entity type, 83(b) elections, and accounting method affect QSBS eligibility and tax outcomes for years.

Can pre-revenue startups claim R&D credits?

Yes — qualifying startups can offset up to $500K/year of payroll tax with R&D credits, even with zero income tax liability. A startup CPA documents and files Form 6765 and Form 8974.
