For accounting firms

Secretary of State compliance monitoring, built for firms with a real book of clients.

Standing checks every client entity's Secretary of State standing automatically, across all 50 states, and tells you the moment one needs attention — so no client finds out their LLC was administratively dissolved from a letter in the mail.

The problem

Manual tracking doesn't scale past a handful of clients.

Every state has its own calendar

Annual report windows, franchise tax deadlines, and registered-agent rules all differ by state — and by entity type within a state. A spreadsheet can't hold that, and neither can memory.

Dissolution is silent

A state doesn't call you when an entity lapses into delinquent or gets administratively dissolved — it just sits there, quietly wrong, until someone needs a good-standing certificate.

It's your name on the file

When a client's entity lapses, the question isn't just "why didn't they know" — it's "why didn't we." Compliance monitoring is liability you can actually do something about.

How it works for your firm

Add your book once. It runs itself from there.

  1. 1

    Import your clients

    Search and confirm each entity by its Secretary of State record — bulk import for a full book, or add them one at a time.

  2. 2

    We watch every one of them

    Standing re-checks each client's status on a schedule, straight from the state's own registry — standing, registered agent, and filing history.

  3. 3

    You're notified the moment something drifts

    Due-soon, delinquent, or a check that couldn't be confirmed — you find out from Standing, not from a client's certificate request.

  4. 4

    Every check is on the record

    A timestamped history for every entity, so you can show exactly when standing was last confirmed — useful the one time someone asks.

Built for a real book of clients

Not a single-entity tool stretched to fit a firm.

Client groups

Organize entities the way your firm actually works — by partner, by service line, by whatever grouping makes the dashboard make sense at a glance.

A portal for each client

Give a client owner their own login, scoped to just their entities — they see their own standing without seeing anyone else's.

Fail-closed, always

If a state registry can't be confirmed, Standing says so — it never guesses "in good standing." Silence is never mistaken for safety.

Common questions

From firms sizing this up.

What is Secretary of State compliance monitoring?

It's tracking whether each of your client entities is current with the state it's registered in — annual reports filed, registered agent up to date, no lapse into delinquent or administratively-dissolved status. Standing automates that check across every client, on a schedule, instead of someone looking each one up by hand.

How is this different from just checking each client's status manually?

Manual checks depend on someone remembering to look, on a cadence that's usually "whenever there's time." Standing checks every client on a fixed schedule automatically, straight from the state's own registry, and only tells you when something actually needs attention — instead of you needing to go looking for trouble.

Which states does Standing cover?

All 50 states plus DC. Most states get a live, automated check straight from the registry; the rest are tracked manually until we add automated coverage there — see exactly which is which on our coverage page.

Can each client see only their own entities?

Yes. Client owners get their own login scoped to just the entities you've given them access to — they never see another client's data, and you control exactly what they can see.

What happens if a state's site is down or can't be checked?

Standing tells you it couldn't confirm the status — it never reports "in good standing" as a fallback guess. A missed check shows up as needing attention, not as silent reassurance.

What does it cost for a firm with a large client book?

Pricing scales with how many entities you're monitoring and how often they're checked — see current plans for exact numbers.
