Self-Employed and S-Corp Tax Optimization
1099, consulting, or business income eating you alive at tax time? A licensed CPA structures your business the right way, sets reasonable compensation, and keeps your quarterly taxes on track, so you keep more of what you earn, legally.
Built for the Self-Employed and S-Corp Owners
If any of these sound familiar, this service was built for your situation.
You are a 1099 contractor
Freelance or consulting income is hit with self-employment tax, and it adds up fast.
Your LLC is profitable
You are paying full self-employment tax on every dollar and wondering if there is a better way.
You are unsure about an S-Corp
You have heard an S-Corp can save tax, but no one has run your actual numbers.
You guess at quarterly taxes
Estimated payments are a shot in the dark, and penalties keep catching you off guard.
Your S-Corp salary is off
You elected S-Corp status but never set a defensible, reasonable salary.
Your income jumped
A strong year brought a tax bill you did not see coming, and you want to plan ahead.
Structure Your Income to Keep More of It
You get a licensed professional who runs the numbers and builds a plan around your actual business.
