Sarah L.

DIY and Home Improvement YouTuber

Annual Income

$2.5 million

Sarah’s channel grew rapidly, but her tax situation became increasingly complex with brand deals and product lines.

Our Approach

  1. Established a Private 401(k) Plan™ allowing for maximum pre-tax contributions.
  2. Structured her product line as a separate entity with optimal profit distribution strategies.
  3. Implemented advanced cost segregation on her studio property.

Result

Sarah’s effective tax rate dropped from 38% to 15%, saving her over $500,000 annually. She’s reinvesting these savings into developing an exclusive line of DIY tools.
