First, I'd check the website of your state's Secretary of State, which is typically the government office that deals with incorporation. There is probably something there about the process.
Then once you've seen what's involved, talk to a lawyer.

Depending on the state, I guess. Technically, practicing transactional law ought to be outside the realm of what CPAs do, but I know they help folks form LLCs and corps all the time. FWIW, if I was setting up an LLC and had some complex demands for the tax allocations section in the operating agreement, an CPA would be my first choice.
As far as setting up corps, it's pretty easy, but if you've been around a few years, you probably have alums who are lawyers. Get one of them to incorporate you, get your 501(c)(10) status approved, etc.
Corps are easy to set up. Getting not-for-profits set up isn't tough, but it is a lot of paperwork.
