What the state actually asks of you
Read from the same tables VERA uses when it drafts your formation paperwork. Last checked 2026-01. Fees and deadlines change, so confirm against the agency before you file.
Filing office
New York Department of State, Division of Corporations
LLC document
Articles of Organization, $200
Corporation document
Certificate of Incorporation, $125
Ongoing report
Biennial statement, biennial, $9
Trade name (DBA)
Filed with the county
Publication
Publish a notice in two newspapers designated by the county clerk for six consecutive weeks, then file a Certificate of Publication. In New York City this routinely costs more than a thousand dollars, well above the filing fee itself.
Payroll withholding
New York uses graduated, bracketed income tax withholding, so the rate depends on the employee's wages and elections.
Every state requires a registered agent with a physical street address in that state, available during business hours. You can be your own agent if you have an address there, but it becomes public record and it means being reachable in person on a workday.
What VERA does
The office work, off your plate
When you are deep in a client project, the pipeline goes quiet. When you are selling, the admin piles up. VERA keeps both moving.
Feast or famine
The pipeline dries up while you deliver. VERA keeps follow-ups and posts going during your busiest months, so the next client is already talking to you.
Proposals on the weekend
Every proposal starts from a blank page on Saturday. VERA drafts it from your call notes with options at your rates.
Recaps nobody writes
Workshops end and the decisions live in your notebook. VERA writes the recap from your recording so the client has it the same day.
Unbilled travel
Flights and mileage for client visits never make it onto the invoice. Log them against the client and VERA adds them for you to approve.
Proposals gone quiet
A proposal opened twice and never answered needs a nudge. VERA tracks when it was opened and drafts the check-in.
Invisible between projects
LinkedIn goes quiet when you are busy. VERA drafts posts from themes in your work, with client details left out.
Questions
VERA for consultants in New York
How does New York withhold income tax from wages?
New York uses graduated, bracketed income tax withholding, so the rate depends on the employee's wages and elections.
Will VERA send proposals or invoices without permission?
No. Every proposal, recap, invoice, and post is a draft until you approve it. VERA only acts on its own under Auto-Pilot rules you create yourself, and every action is logged.
How is this different from VERA for professional services?
The professional services page is built for firms with delivery teams, statements of work, and change requests. This page is for the consultant who sells, delivers, and runs the back office alone or with a small team.
Can clients choose between proposal options?
Yes. VERA drafts proposals with selectable options, the client picks one from the link and accepts it, and you see when it was opened and accepted.
Does this work for fractional executives?
Yes. A fractional CFO, COO, or CMO has the same shape: a few clients on monthly fees, recurring sessions, and decisions to write up. Put each client on automatic monthly payments once they authorize them, record sessions for recaps, and keep the pipeline warm between engagements.
