The Problem

40M+ self-employed Americans must pay quarterly estimated taxes or face IRS penalties. 65% of freelancers underpay taxes because they can't calculate deductions correctly. Tax accountants charge $500–$2,000/yr for quarterly estimates. Existing tools like QuickBooks Self-Employed are bloated with features freelancers don't need.

The Solution

Simple tax estimation tool that connects to bank accounts, auto-categorizes income and deductions, calculates federal and state quarterly estimates, and generates IRS payment vouchers — replacing the $1,500 accountant bill.

Target Audience

Freelancers and self-employed professionals earning $50K–$500K annually, gig economy workers driving for Uber, delivering for DoorDash, or freelancing on Upwork, and solopreneurs who hate tax surprises
