What we solve

Where agents and brokers overpay

The structure and timing gaps that quietly cost you thousands.

1
The 15.3% self-employment tax
As a 1099 agent you pay both halves of Social Security and Medicare on your net income.
2
Feast-or-famine income
Commissions arrive in lumps; without planning, big months become big tax surprises.
3
Wrong (or no) entity
Filing as a sole proprietor when an S-corp election could save thousands every year.
4
Missed write-offs
Vehicle, marketing, licensing, CE, and home-office deductions left on the table.
