Does anyone else find it difficult to have a clear picture of their finances after taxes?

Last tax season I owed way more than I expected. Not because I wasn't making money — because I kept looking at my bank balance and thinking "I'm doing fine" without accounting for the 30%+ that wasn't really mine.

The problem with every budgeting app I tried is they show you your income as if it's all yours. But as a freelancer, that Stripe deposit isn't your full paycheck — a chunk of it belongs to the IRS before you even touch it.

So I built something that shows your finances the way they actually are:

  • Income displayed after estimated taxes based, not before
  • Automatically calculates what to set aside your tax reserve as money comes in and tracks your EOY reserves
  • Tracks your real spendable budget each month based on 12 month average
  • Connects to your bank to auto-categorize everything with manual overrides

I built this for myself, but thought maybe others would find it useful or want to try it out. Do you have a system for handling taxes throughout the year, or do you just figure it out in April?

Hey,

We are looking for an Assistant Editor to help process a high volume of tradeshow footage on an ongoing basis.

This role is very workflow focused:

  • Review large batches of 4K 60fps event footage
  • Convert to 24fps
  • Pull quick usable selects (not overly precise, just solid moments)
  • Export and organize selects so they are ready for our editor

The goal is speed and consistency, not detailed creative editing. If you can move quickly, stay organized, and make solid judgment calls without overthinking, this will be a good fit.

Ideal fit:

  • Fast and efficient, comfortable working through large amounts of footage
  • Good instinct for usable moments like people, movement, and clean shots
  • Organized with file naming and structure
  • Premiere or similar NLE experience

Details:

  • Ongoing work with a steady pipeline
  • Remote
  • Paid per batch, typically $30-$60 per 1–2 hour selects pass (depending on speed and reliability)

To apply, please send:

  • Brief background
  • Any relevant work (selects or stringouts if you have them, not required)
  • Your rate and typical turnaround time
