Emerge180 focuses on success by guaranteeing definitive business results. We consider it our privilege to do business and explain the options we have available to resolve financial matters.
We are the best at what we do but in the rare case we are unable to secure a settlement, no costs are incurred and any monies paid to us will be refunded. All costs are stated before we begin working together, so business owners know exactly what to expect.

Our company services department does everything to get your business going and maximize your potential growth. We can help you form your business, meet annual filing requirements, and get licensed to operate in multiple states.
Business Tax Credits
We also specialize in helping businesses secure tax credits, having secured over $50M in credits since 2020, and minimizing taxes paid by both the business and its owners. Additionally, we defend businesses facing IRS and State tax issues, including audit defense and collections cases, with experienced tax professionals.

Consulting
Emerge180 is completely dedicated to helping small to medium-sized businesses succeed in an increasingly complex and dangerous world. Those risks must be matched against it also being a time of immense opportunity. The balance between these forces requires specific expertise developed at incredible prior cost. Emerge180’s consultants have “been there before” and are dedicated to using that experience to craft a safe and profitable path through a rapidly changing environment.
Emerge180 recognizes that every dollar spent by our customers requires a return on that investment. To maximize the efficiency of an engagement, every project starts with an affordable assessment. No one wants to see the so-called expert show up with all the answers without even asking the questions from those living the problem. That assessment leads to a simple, agile delivery of services with each step or sprint being evaluated and measured for results.
It just takes a phone call and a free one hour evaluation of your pain points.
Company Services
Your business has to have been operating at some point during March 2020 – December 2021 and you have to have paid wages to employees. Certain businesses qualify automatically based on when they opened, but any business can qualify if experienced a significant decline in revenue or was subject to a full or partial shutdown order. Call us and we can talk about your particular situation.
The maximum possible credit is $33,000 per employee. The amount you will get is based on a number of factors including PPP loans received, how much you pay employees, whether you receive certain tax credits and other factors.
We usually finish all of the documents necessary to claim the credit within a couple weeks of receiving your information. Once submitted, it can take 4-8 months before you receive the funds depending on how quickly your claim is processed.
No! It is not a loan like the PPP or the SBA disaster loans. There is no repayment requirement.
Accounting & Administrative
Although By the Hour is usually the most cost effective method for our clients, we do have flat monthly fees for our services which are designed to be all inclusive.
Absolutely! You do not have to utilize all of our services. You can pick the services that would be the most cost effective and of the most help to you.
Yes. We are familiar with most online products.
No. We use high quality software here in our office.
