A PDF and companion Google Sheets calculator. Built for the W-2 professional running an S-corp, LLC, or short-term rental on the side. Free with your subscription.

What you'll get in your inbox
Exclusive tips, ideas, and updates for high-income professionals running a real business alongside a W-2. Observations, frameworks, and commentary on the topics that matter when both kinds of income show up on your return — tax mechanics, entity structure, retirement, real estate, credit and points, and broader wealth strategy.
No filler. No fluff. No "10 ways to save money." Just considered analysis, recommendations calibrated to hybrid earners at the income tier the publication serves (always disclosed), and the occasional sponsor or affiliate placement that earns its keep. The newsletter is what's been missing from the intersection of W-2 and side-business planning — for the people running both, regardless of which specific configuration applies.
If a topic interests you, hit reply. I read every email and respond personally when I can.
Questions worth answering
How often will I hear from you?
Regularly, but not relentlessly. Sends are timed to when there's something worth saying — observations, frameworks, or commentary tied to what's actually happening. Quality over cadence.
Is there a paid tier?
Not at launch. A paid tier with deeper tactical content is on the roadmap for late 2026 / early 2027. Free subscribers get plenty without it.
What's in the archive?
Past newsletters live in the article archive. Nothing is paywalled.
Why no comments on the site?
Comments invite low-signal engagement and create a moderation burden. Reader conversations happen by email reply. They're better that way.
How do I unsubscribe?
One click in any email footer. No survey, no "please don't go" page. The link does what you'd expect.
