What we do
For founders who live outside the United States, Lime North LLC forms US LLCs, applies for EINs, helps with ITIN applications and keeps monthly US books. We also prepare the yearly US filings for a foreign-owned LLC, including Form 5472 with a pro-forma 1120. A named preparer works on your file, a named reviewer checks it, and every filing goes to a government office after you approve it.
Lime North LLC provides bookkeeping and accounting services. It is not a CPA firm and is not licensed by a state board of accountancy.
How we fit alongside the IRS and your advisers
Lime North is an independent firm and is not affiliated with the IRS or any other government agency.
Tax in the country where you live is handled by a tax adviser there, legal advice comes from your lawyer, and investment advice from your financial adviser. The books we prepare are not audited, reviewed or compiled under professional accounting standards.
The information on this website
Our pages for founders outside the US explain US rules in general terms, as of the date shown on each page. Rules change, so every rule we state links to the IRS, FinCEN or state page it came from, with the date we read it. The information on this website is general and is not advice for your specific situation. Your written quote covers your own situation.
Samples on this website
Dashboards, calendars and figures marked "SAMPLE · NOT A CLIENT" use a demo company, Demo Northwind Studio LLC, to show what our work looks like. They illustrate format, and every figure in them is a demo figure.
Prices
Every service is priced in US dollars (USD). The prices on our pages for founders outside the US are our standard prices; state fees are added at cost. Your written quote confirms the price and a date for each deliverable before any work starts.
Payment comes after you accept your quote, by bank transfer to the account named on it.
Working together
Reading this website, emailing us or booking a call starts a conversation. The work starts once you accept your written quote and pay by bank transfer.
Names we use
We name the IRS, FinCEN, state offices and the marketplaces and payment providers founders use to describe them. We work with each of them as an independent firm.
