Multiple platforms. One financial system that works.

Creators outside a single platform often face the most complexity. Income comes from ads, tips, memberships, sponsors, and direct sales—often paid on different schedules and reported inconsistently. We design accounting systems that bring everything together so you always know where you stand.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do content streamers need to pay taxes on ad revenue and tips?

    Yes. Income from Bits, subscriptions, ads, and donations is generally considered taxable income by the IRS. Even if payments feel informal or inconsistent, they still need to be reported. We help categorize each income type correctly and make sure nothing is missed.

  • How are YouTube, podcast, or membership earnings reported?

    Platforms may issue 1099s depending on thresholds, but forms don’t always reflect total income. We reconcile payouts with bank deposits so nothing is overlooked.

  • Can we deduct studio space and production equipment?

    If expenses are used for content creation, they’re often deductible. This can include phones, lighting, editing tools, props, and even a portion of home office costs. We help document everything correctly.

  • Should we form an LLC or S-Corp as a content streamer?

    For creators with consistent or growing income, entity formation can offer tax savings and liability protection. We assess timing and structure to make sure it actually benefits you.

  • How do we handle taxes when income comes from multiple platforms?

    We consolidate all income streams into one clear system, helping plan quarterly taxes and manage cash flow—even when payouts vary month to month.
