It depends a lot on what sort of business are you planning to start, however, my advice is the following, the differences between an LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp, and other entities from a technical standpoint are generally quite finite. However, the differences from a taxation standpoint can be huge.

If you have trust your accountant, I would go that route. Tell your lawyer that this is the direction that you want to go and why and ask him to be really honest with you about the potential consequences.

I hope you find this helpful.

I would suggest listening to your lawyer or legal advice and your accountant for tax/accounting advice. You don't mention the specifics of their recommendations, but it might very well be possible to get the legal structure your lawyer recommends and the tax structure your accountant recommends. You should ask them about that and see if you can reconcile the difference that way.
