Others disagree, but you can read those debates here and decide for yourself.Pretty much the only difference you'll have from a tax perspective is that in an LLC you may have an additional deductible expense for maintaining the LLC with the Secretary of State, an additional expense to file a tax return and more formalized bookkeeping and corporate governance duties.PS - I am right up the road from you in Arvada.  

And being an accountant I naturally have taken on the role of bookkeeping which takes a lot of time.

@David Krulac   BTW I am looking forward to reading your book.  Keeps

I am also a certified bookkeeper. 

I know that at some point in the future, it will not be worth me spending 20 minutes per week doing my own bookkeeping.

I just went through the process of picking an online book keeper platform.

As such, you can within the 401k have multiple individual participant accounts - one for you and one for your wife - assuming your wife is a documented employee of the business.You could not roll a Roth IRA into such a 401k, but I think you mentioned that your funds were in a traditional IRA.With the 401k, there are still proscribed methods for documenting and bookkeeping so as to independently value your account and that of your wife, but the ability to combine the funds for investments is much easier than in the IRA realm.

I have an Accounting background and worked for 14 years in hotel accounting before moving to Douglasville last year and starting a tax, payroll, and bookkeeping company with an old friend.
