You’ll be using the corp amex. If I were starting over, so simplify accounting, I’d open a bank account just for the corp Amex.

It’s a reimbursement system, the separate acct is just for ease of accounting

like

To reinforce the above, DO NOT get the corporate plat or gold. You pay the normal fee but don't get increased spending multipliers like the business cards. Key: Corp amex cards have 1x multiplier on all spend regardless of green or gold or plat. Instead, pair the Corp Amex green (free) with a personal Amex gold or plat and you get a discount by holding the Corp card at the same time

like

Not 100% sure but considering you can get more (i.e. increased spending multipliers through the personal cards) versus Corp card for the same price, it's a no brainer imo. Why choose to get less for the same price? Also good point Mck2 raised is that if you leave the firm, you immediately lose any unspent Amex point unless you have a personal card as well

Also incoming BA, is this only in the US?

That will force us to pay additional 7.5% in FICA as employers.

Can we pay her on a 1099? How does that work and do we have to contribute anything ourself if we do similar to W2?

Please keep unhelpful judgments to a minimum regarding us trying to pay cash
