What is the jock tax and how do you handle it?

The 'jock tax' is the income tax that states and cities levy on athletes and performers for the days they work within their borders. We track duty days across every jurisdiction you compete or perform in, prepare each nonresident return, and claim resident-state credits so you are never taxed twice.

Can you structure NIL and endorsement income?

Yes. We typically route endorsement, NIL, appearance, and licensing income through an S-Corporation or loan-out entity. Done correctly, this reduces self-employment tax, opens retirement-plan options, and creates a clean separation between brand income and W-2 salary.

Do you work alongside my agent, attorney, and financial advisor?

Always. We act as the financial quarterback, sharing projections, K-1s, and cash-flow models with your existing team so every decision is coordinated. Representation before the IRS is coordinated through contracted Enrolled Agents and CPAs under a signed engagement letter, at your request.

How do you protect my privacy?

Engagement happens under NDA. Entity ownership is layered through trusts and holding companies where appropriate, mailing addresses are abstracted, and access to financial data is logged and role-restricted within our portal.

Is there a minimum income to engage you?

Our private-client practice is built for individuals and families whose tax complexity warrants a dedicated team, typically multi-state earners, equity-comp recipients, or households generating significant annual income. The discovery call is the fastest way to confirm fit.

How quickly can you take over from my current accountant?

Most transitions complete within two to three weeks. We request prior returns and source documents with your written authorization, check them line by line, and file an amended return if we find missed savings.

Where standard accounting fails

Four problems
we see every time.

The recurring gaps we find in nearly every new private-client engagement.

Jock Tax & Multi-State Filings

Income earned across multiple states and countries triggers a tangled web of returns, credits, and withholdings. We file every jurisdiction correctly.

Endorsements, NIL & Equity Comp

Structure endorsement deals, NIL income, RSUs, and partnership equity through the right entities to minimize tax and protect future earnings.

Short-Career Income Smoothing

Privacy & Asset Protection

Trust structures, LLC layering, and discreet bookkeeping that keep your finances out of public view and shielded from litigation.
