​Set up LLC in New Jersey?

I’m figuring out how to set up an LLC in NJ for my freelance business, from what I understand part of the process is to appoint a registered agent who will receive official legal and tax documents on behalf of the LLC.

Has anyone here done this in NJ for their own LLC, and if so do they have an agent recommendation, preferably in or within driving distance of Jersey City?

My accountant wants $500 for his fee and $250 for state fees. I know this is way too high. His fee is $750 including government filing fee $126 and corporate kits fee around $100.

The things he would be doing are: NJ LLC registration, NJ Tax department registration, EIN, Management document, and Corporate kits.

Serious answers only please. Thanks
