Built for Wisconsin Businesses — Not a Generic Template
Accounting in Wisconsin carries rules a firm in another state simply does not deal with. We work in them every day for Racine-area companies.
The Pass-Through Entity-Level Tax Election
Wisconsin lets a tax-option S corporation or a partnership elect to be taxed at the entity level at 7.9%, moving the state tax above the line and out from under the federal SALT cap. It is an annual election with real trade-offs — not automatically the right answer, and it wants modeling against each owner’s own return before the box is ticked.
The Personal Property Tax Is Gone — And the Filings Went With It
2023 Wisconsin Act 12 repealed the tax on business personal property effective January 1, 2024, and the Statement of Personal Property is no longer filed. Books still carrying a personal-property accrual are carrying a liability that does not exist. Manufacturers still file their M-form real-property returns with the Department of Revenue — a different obligation people routinely conflate with the repealed one.
Manufacturing & Agriculture Credit — the Classification Is the Work
Racine County makes things, and the Manufacturing and Agriculture Credit takes Wisconsin tax on qualified production income close to zero. It only applies if the property is classified as manufacturing by the Department of Revenue and the income is computed on the right base. The classification and the annual filings are the work; the credit is the result.
The Illinois Line Is Twenty-Five Minutes Away
Wisconsin has income tax reciprocity with Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Michigan, so a Racine employer with Illinois-resident staff takes Form W-220 and withholds Illinois, not Wisconsin — while unemployment insurance follows its own rules, because reciprocity does not reach UI. Selling south of the line raises a separate nexus question. And Racine County has levied its own 0.5% sales tax on top of the 5% state rate since April 1, 2025, for 5.5% in total.

Racine FAQ
Do I need to come into the Racine office?+
No. Most of the work happens through secure document exchange and the monthly close conversation happens on a call, so plenty of clients never sit down with us. If you would rather meet in person, 410 Main St is here and you are welcome.
What size businesses do you work with?+
Our sweet spot is $500K–$10M in revenue with 5–50 employees — past DIY bookkeeping but not ready for a full in-house finance team.
Do you handle Wisconsin and multi-state taxes?+
Yes. Wisconsin income, withholding and sales tax, the pass-through entity-level election, and multi-state returns where you have nexus — including the Illinois reciprocity and withholding question that comes with being this close to the border.
What does it cost?+
Full outsourced accounting starts at $650/mo with fixed monthly pricing — no hourly surprises. The exact figure depends on your transaction volume and the services you need; a Discovery Meet gives you a real number.
