Merze (www.merze.ai) offers cross-border US tax intelligence for global founders. We unify GAAP bookkeeping, corporate tax filing, sales tax nexus monitoring, and entity compliance into one secure platform for high-growth startups. Merze eliminates these risks by unifying all six layers of compliance into one dashboard. The Solution: Six Unified Services Merze provides complete coverage through six integrated pillars. 1. US Business Incorporation Merze handles the structural foundation of your company. Whether you are forming a Delaware C-Corp for venture capital or an LLC for pass-through taxation, we manage the filing, EIN acquisition, and post-incorporation documents. We ensure your entity structure aligns with your fundraising goals from day one. 2. GAAP Bookkeeping & Financial Reporting Investors do not accept cash-basis spreadsheets; they demand GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financials. Merze maintains your books on an accrual basis every month. Our HITL CPAs reconcile your bank feeds, categorize expenses, and generate investor-ready P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow statements. This ensures you are always ready for a board meeting or Series A due diligence. 3. Corporate & Personal Income Tax Filing We handle the complete lifecycle of income tax compliance. This includes: - Federal Form 1120: Annual corporate income tax return. - State Income Tax: Filings for every state where you have physical or economic presence. - Founder Compliance: Personal tax filings for founders to ensure alignment between personal and business assets. 4. Sales Tax Nexus Monitoring State-level tracking is no longer enough. Following the Wayfair ruling, startups can trigger "Economic Nexus" merely by selling software or goods into a jurisdiction. Merze tracks your liability across 50 states and 11,000+ local tax jurisdictions (cities and counties). We calculate the exact tax owed and file the returns automatically. 5. Registered Agent Services Every US entity is legally required to have a Registered Agent to receive government notices. Merze acts as your official presence in every state where you operate. We receive, digitize, and alert you to legal notices in real-time, ensuring your corporate veil remains intact and your entity stays in good standing. 6. 1099 Vendor Management End-to-end automation for vendor qualification and 1099-NEC filing, including free CPA verification to ensure you pay only for eligible vendors, not blind bulk uploads.
