To find the best community bank, I would post in a local facebook group and ask which are the best local lenders to work with and ask for a specific contact.  

Hi,This is my first post on BP.

Transcribing transactions from bank statements, posting transactions to the correct accounts, and then manually creating an income statement, statement of owner's equity and a balance sheet is a fairly time consuming process and I have not been able to keep up with the book keeping between my regular work responsibilities.What accounting software do people recommend? 

Welcome to BP and getting our first post under your belt. 

The latter part of my post was referring to the protection of the account, not the assets through funding but the cash left on-hand.I think because banks are or were typically used for ck, savings, etc, I never looked to them as offering IRA/SDIRA.When I opened my account (2018) it was with specifics in mind and now I am reevaluating.

Definitely read that and post.

You'll have to keep me posted on your next move! 

Looking at your posts your in Maryland a high density area.3.
