What we solve

Where content creators leave money on the table

The structure and deduction gaps that quietly shrink your take-home.

1
Self-employment tax exposure
All that 1099 income gets hit with 15.3% SE tax. Without a structure, you pay all of it.
2
Missed deductions
Camera gear, home studio, travel, editing software, and subscriptions, often never tracked or claimed.
3
No business structure
Operating as a personal brand with no LLC or S-corp means no liability protection and no tax strategy.
4
Multi-platform income confusion
YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, brand deals, Substack, all paying differently, none reconciled.

Paying 15.3% SE tax on all your 1099 income
Operating as a personal brand with no LLC or S-corp
Camera gear and software deductions never claimed
Platform income from everywhere, reconciled nowhere
With Thompson Flaherty

LLC / S-corp structure that legally cuts SE tax
Liability protection and a real business structure
Every deduction captured: gear, studio, travel, software
