When it comes to Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) filings, businesses typically face a choice: rely on traditional accountants or embrace modern solutions like OwnerFile. This analysis delves into how OwnerFile's approach contrasts with traditional methods, highlighting key aspects like efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and user control. (BTW, we LOVE accountants! Our founder is a CPA!)

Why you Might not Want to Trust Your Accountant with Beneficial Ownership Information Filings

As we enter this new era of business reporting, many businesses will turn to accountants for handling BOI filings. Accountants are trusted advisors and are familiar with your business, but this approach has its drawbacks:

  1. Time-Intensive Process: Accountants often handle multiple clients, which can lead to longer turnaround times for your filings.
  2. Cost Factor: Hiring a professional accountant can be a significant expense, especially for small to medium-sized businesses.
  3. Limited Control and Visibility: Business owners typically have less direct oversight and control over the filing process.
  4. Low-tech / Less Secure Approach: Working with your CPA might involve emailing sensitive information back and forth, or completing paper or PDF forms and submitting them online. 

OwnerFile’s Modern Approach to BOI Filings

OwnerFile represents a shift towards a more efficient, cost-effective, and user-centric approach:

  1. Streamlined and Automated Processes: OwnerFile automates and streamlines the BOI filing process, significantly reducing the time and effort involved. Instead of having to collect ALL the information yourself and provide it to your accountant, you’ll only need to provide us names and emails and we’ll handle all the data collection from there.
