The best bet is to do it yourself :)

I found that most tax firms arent aware of the subtleties of accounting for most internet businesses. Even quickbooks is pretty weak.

You know, if there is enough interest, maybe I would launch such a firm ...

Ask HN: Contributing to Linux Kernel

Has anyone contributed to the linux kernel lately? If so, what is the procedure? [yes I've google-searched but most of the information seems dated or just flat out wrong -- i cant imagine kernel devs would accept patches to source trees other than linux-next]

Re:Ask HN: Simplest way to start paying people? on Saturday March 19, 2011 @01:47PM (#2344209)
With small payouts, a significant percentage of the payments will be taken by the middlemen.

With large payouts, people will have to wait a long while before the first payment, and may end up believing its a scam.

If you dont mind can you describe what you are doing?

It sounds like you are looking for something like Obopay [where you can send money to their bank account if they give routing information].

I would check with your bank. IIRC Bank of America provides this service.

The best answer depends on the magnitude of the payments. Are we talking about penny/dollar payments or O($100) or O($1000) payments?
