Fashion and Lifestyle Influencer

Annual Income

$3.5 million

Emma came to us frustrated with her soaring tax bills as her Instagram following grew. Despite numerous deductions suggested by her previous CPA, she was still losing nearly half her income to taxes.

Our Approach

  1. Implemented a custom-designed Private 401(k) Plan™, allowing for a $500,000 annual pre-tax contribution.
  2. Structured a series of LLCs to optimize income allocation and expense management.
  3. Utilized advanced tax credit strategies related to her content production activities.

Result

Emma’s tax liability decreased by over $1 million, dropping her effective tax rate from 47% to 18%. She now reinvests this saved money into growing her brand and diversifying her income streams.
