Course Description

One of the beauties of operating a business through a limited liability company is the ability to streamline and combine the company’s governing documents into one document known as a Limited Liability Company Agreement or Operating Agreement.

These agreements contain material corporate and tax considerations that must be aligned and consistent throughout the document. This puts a tax professional in a unique, “value-add” position.

An LLC operating agreement establishes guidelines for an LLC in the same way that articles of incorporation govern the operation of a corporation.

The operations agreement is a tool kit of your knowledge of your practice and what you do on any given day. Then as the practice grows it will become necessary to implement several new items for all partners. The thing to realize is that every business and its partners are different so every agreement is different too.

Maintaining an efficient practice requires documentation, documentation, and documentation. Therefore, there will be no right or wrong in piecing one together.

The unique business structure and rules of LLCs make them an invaluable instrument for your clients - don't miss out on this opportunity to learn not only how to spot potential pitfalls, but also how to plan and design the LLC to better meet their needs.

The objective of the CE/CPE tax course is to give attendees an understanding of common, and perhaps some uncommon, pressure points that typically arise in the context of drafting a Limited Liability Company Agreement or Operating Agreement.

Learning Objectives

To discuss the role of the limited liability company agreement or operating agreement in corporate governance matters.
To analyze different types of distribution schemes.
To inspect and interpret provisions for allocations.
To discuss considerations regarding equity incentive plans.

The CPE course for CPAs is recommended for CMAs, CVAs, CIAs, Accountants, and Staff of Accounting Firms desiring to learn how to draft a Limited Liability Company Agreement or Operating Agreement.
The IRS Approved CE Course is recommended for EAs, AFSPs, Tax Preparers, and Other Tax Professionals.
