Startup / Formation Bundle
Startup Package
Your Back Office, Built Right from Day One
A single, fixed-price package that handles entity formation support, accounting infrastructure, and your first three months of bookkeeping — so nothing gets missed at the start.
Most new businesses start with the same liability: the financial and administrative infrastructure gets built reactively, in pieces, by whoever has time. Chart of accounts gets set up later. The registered agent obligation is handled at the last minute. QuickBooks gets configured by trial and error. By the time the business is operating, the records are already disorganized and the compliance gaps are already accumulating.
Black Hills Accounting eliminates that pattern. The Startup / Formation Bundle delivers a fully structured financial back office — entity registration support, accounting software configuration, and professionally managed bookkeeping — in a single, fixed-scope engagement. There is no custom quoting, no phased invoicing, and no scope creep. The price is $1,500 for the first year. The scope is defined. The work gets done.
What you receive is direct and complete: South Dakota registered agent representation for your first year, a professionally designed chart of accounts, a configured and ready-to-use QuickBooks Online environment, three months of Essential Bookkeeping, and a documented back-office process structure that keeps your records accurate and your filings clean from the start. A CPA liaison introduction is included to ensure your accounting infrastructure connects properly to your tax filing workflow.
After your first three months, bookkeeping continues at the standard Essential rate of $400/month. There is no re-onboarding, no renegotiation, and no disruption to your records — the transition is seamless because the foundation was built to support it.
