Real Results: Case Study – Janelle, LA-Based Ecom Entrepreneur

Before:
Janelle ran a successful Shopify store out of her home in Studio City. She was making over $150,000 a year but had never done any real tax planning. Her CPA just “filed the return.”

Pain Point:
She was paying nearly $45,000 in combined federal, state, and self-employment tax — and felt stuck.

After working with us:
We restructured her LLC into an S Corporation, helped her implement the Augusta Rule (renting her home to her business), and added her teenage son to payroll under a family employment strategy.

Outcome:

  • Saved over $6,800/year from the S Corp restructure alone

  • Earned $12,000/year tax-free via Augusta Rule

  • Shifted $8,000/year to her son — reducing taxable income and building family wealth

  • Total projected tax savings: $18,900/year

 

Quote:
“This was the first time I felt like someone showed me how to get ahead. Not just file — actually plan.” – Janelle R., Studio City

How It Works

We make tax planning easy — even if you’ve never done it before.

Step 1: Book a Free Strategy Call
You’ll meet with a senior tax strategist (not a salesperson) to discuss your business, income, and goals.

Step 2: We Review Your Current Setup
We’ll look at your entity type, deductions, past filings, and identify what’s missing — or costing you too much.

Step 3: You Get a Customized Tax Plan
You’ll walk away with a clear, documented plan that covers how to save now, what to adjust, and how to stay compliant with the IRS and the State of California.

Optional Ongoing Support
If you want help implementing your tax plan or want ongoing strategy throughout the year, we offer flat-rate advisory packages.

 

No pressure. No surprises. Just strategy.

FAQ

Q: Is this different from tax preparation?
Yes. Tax prep is filing what already happened. Tax planning helps you control the outcome — before the IRS sees it.

Q: Can I work with you if I’m outside of LA?
Absolutely. We work remotely with clients across California and nationwide. But if you’re in LA, you benefit from our deep knowledge of local compliance and tax quirks.

Q: Do I need to have an LLC or S Corp already?
No. We help many clients figure out when it’s the right time to set up or restructure their entity for tax savings.

 

Q: Is the strategy session really free?
Yes. There’s no cost or pressure. We’ll audit your current setup and show you exactly where tax savings might be hiding.
