Step by step, in the order you will actually do it

A guide takes a process that spans weeks and lays out what you do, in sequence, with the real numbers attached. Incorporating. Applying for exemption. Filing a 990. Getting through an audit.

The test we hold these to: could you follow one end to end without opening another tab. That means naming the exact form, what it costs, how long it takes, and what changes depending on your state, rather than telling you to consult your Secretary of State and calling that advice.

Every step traces to the body that issued it, and every guide carries the date it was last checked against them.
