Struggling with beneficial ownership reporting? You’re not alone. Most compliance professionals are facing challenges with the new requirements under the Corporate Transparency Act. Recent surveys show that despite the approaching deadlines, many businesses and even some compliance professionals are still not fully aware of their obligations. According to the New Jersey Society of CPAs, only about 2.5 million of the expected 32.6 million reports have been filed as of mid-2024, highlighting the widespread confusion and need for support.

📌Did you know? Failing to comply with beneficial ownership reporting requirements can result in penalties of up to $591 per day. 

To assist with this, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has developed a comprehensive FinCEN BOI Toolkit that includes templates, sample content, and guidance designed to make compliance communication easier. However, managing compliance can still be challenging, especially for firms handling multiple clients with different ownership structures. That’s where FincenFetch comes in. Our service complements the FinCEN BOI Toolkit by providing personalized support and automated solutions to simplify the compliance process.
