Crowdfund CPA - Company Overview
Crowdfund CPA was established to fill the unique needs of the new crowdfunding industry. The JOBS Act signed into law April 5, 2012 is the single largest change to US securities laws since 1940, particularly Title III Crowdfunding and Title IV Regulation A+ Crowdfunding. Simply put, it gives Main Street the right to invest in itself - no longer reliant on Wall Street and big bank funding.
CrowdfundCPA is a leading expert in the industry for accounting, auditing, and SEC reporting matters. We have sponsored or spoke on crowdfunding at several major industry conferences including: CrowdfundingUSA Forum in DC, RealCap Conference in Chicago, GCCB Conference in Las Vegas, Crowdfund Professional Association's Crowdfinance Summit in DC, Silicon Valley Crowdfunding Conference, Global Crowdfunding Convention in Las Vegas, nationally published on the topic by numerous industry publications, and quoted for national magazines, including twice being quoted/profiled regaring Regulation A+ by Entrepreneur. The SEC implemented several rules from our suggestions to provide investors protections and support a viable market. Our industry knowledge, SEC reporting experience, and industry connections set us apart as the industry leader for Regulation A+ accounting, auditing, and SEC reporting matters.
Crowdfund CPA can assist you in navigating this journey with confidence and with minimal capital outlay. The costs of doing a crowdfund raise is a topic of much debate in the industry, but have now largely been set as the market prepares for implementation of Reg A+, and not surprisingly, entrepreneurial minded attorneys, CPAs, and others, are set to build this new industry into a workable capital raising model. The primary up-front expenses are:

The primary up-front expenses are:
- Certified Public Accountant (CPA): Regulation CF (Title III Crowdfunding) requires a review by a CPA for offerings exceeding $100,000, and audits by a CPA for raises exceeding $500,000 when the issuer has previously issued under Reg CF. Regulation A+ (Title IV) crowdfunding offerings require an audit for all Tier 2 offerings where an issuer can raise up to $50M. So how much does an audit or review cost? Typically large firms charge a minimum of $15,000 (average mid-sized company audit fees are ~$50k-$150k) for an audit and minimum $5,000 for a review. However, Crowdfund CPA was designed to service small businesses and work with an efficient, technology driven process to expedite the process and reduce fees. Through these efforts and much lower overhead and billing rates than traditional larger firms, we can facilitate services at a fraction of the typical cost. See our Audit and Review Cost Estimate Calculator for an estimate for your particular circumstances.
- Attorneys: Attorneys are necessary to draft securities agreements for the offering, various other legal needs, and to prepare the offering documents. Crowdfund CPA works with many of the top name attorneys and services for JOBS Act offerings.
- Funding Portal or Broker: Title III Crowdfunding establishes that all transactions must be completed through a Funding Portal or Broker. Industry experts expect these fees to be between 5-8% of the transaction.
