Take Control of your taxes and keep more of your hard-earned money

Stop letting the intentionally complicated tax code intimIDATE YOU AND START CONFIDENTLY MANAGING YOUR FINances today.

Your eyes glaze over at the mere mention of tax forms...

MEANWHILE...

you can't shake the feeling that the wealthy are playing by a different set of rules, pocketing deductions you didn't even know existed.

Every time you file, there's that nagging fear: "What if I made a mistake? Is the IRS going to come knocking?"

The weight of the tax code feels like it's crushing your entrepreneurial spirit. It's as if the system is designed to keep small business owners like you struggling.

Your annual 40-minute rush with your accountant leaves you with more questions than answers. Is this really all the guidance you get?

If you're nodding along,

you're not alone.

The U.S. tax system thrives on confusion, leaving self-employed individuals like you feeling lost, frustrated, and frankly, a little cheated.

And at the end of the day, your accountant can wipe their hands clean because they’re only responsible for reporting the information you give them, so the liability falls on you.

Accountants can create a false sense of trust and security.

It’s not by accident.

It's by design.

The U.S. tax code is intentionally complicated, written by those with the money to influence government policy and conveniently create loopholes for themselves. They've designed a system to keep you in the dark and dependent on gatekeepers.

CPAs aren't immune to tax overwhelm.

Even licensed experts struggle to navigate relentless tax law shifts.

In fact, that’s one of the reasons I nearly quit the profession altogether.

In 2020, after years of working for big accounting firms, I hit a breaking point. The constant tax law changes, the pressure to keep clients in the dark, the feeling that I was part of a system designed to confuse rather than clarify – it was all too much.

But then I had an epiphany.

What if, instead of quitting, I could transform the way people approach taxes?

I realized that the real problem wasn't the complexity of the tax code itself. It was the intentional obscuring of information, the hoarding of knowledge by so-called experts.

So I made it my mission to break down those barriers.

To take everything I've learned as a CPA, including my own experiences dealing with the IRS, and make it accessible to self-employed individuals like you.

This course is the result of that mission.

Hi, I'm George Azar

a licensed CPA with over a decade of experience in tax law and accounting.

My journey in the world of finance and taxes has been a winding road - from climbing the ladder at a Big Four accounting firm to striking out on my own as an independent consultant.

Now, I'm on a mission to revolutionize how self-employed individuals like you approach taxes.

This course is the culmination of my expertise, designed to empower you with:

I have had many CPAs but no one like George. He deals with finances in a way that is easy, simplifying and comforting for people who, like me, would prefer to avoid it at all costs or it brings up anxiety for.

I designed ‘Self-Employment 101: Tax Fundamentals for Entrepreneurs’ specifically for business owners like you…

Your coffee shop side hustle is brewing up big dreams (and big questions about taxes)

You're ready to launch your passion project into a full-fledged business, tax fears be damned

You've got a curious mind and you're tired of being told "Don't worry about it" when it comes to your finances

But I’ll be honest, this course isn’t for everyone…

Questions Your Self-Employed Peers Asked Before Taking the Leap…

  • Absolutely. The system is designed to make you feel this way. This course will help you move past shame and into empowerment.

  • Not necessarily. This course isn't about replacing your accountant, but empowering you to work more effectively with financial professionals. By understanding self-employment taxes, you'll ask better questions, make informed decisions, and use your accountant's time wisely. You'll stay in control of your finances while still benefiting from professional expertise when needed. And importantly, when you know better, you can do better - this might mean recognizing if it's time to find a more suitable expert who aligns with your newfound knowledge and goals. Remember, an educated client and a skilled accountant make a powerful team for your financial success.

  • Fear is a common tactic used to keep people dependent on "experts." While this course isn't personalized tax advice, it will help reduce your fear by clarifying the tax system and teaching critical thinking skills for tax decisions. You'll gain reliable tools, resources, and knowledge to make more informed, responsible choices. Everyone's situation is unique, but my goal is to transform your tax anxiety into confident, educated action.

  • Most people only get a brief annual meeting, which isn't nearly enough. This course will empower you to manage your taxes confidently year-round whether you decide to work with an accountant or manage your taxes yourself.

  • The tax code is intentionally complicated, but the core concepts are absolutely learnable. This course breaks everything down into manageable, empowering lessons.

  • While I don't offer refunds, I do provide a satisfaction guarantee. If after 30 days you've completed the course modules and engaged in the community but still don't feel more empowered and confident about your taxes, reach out to me. Provide evidence of your completed work, and I'll personally review your progress and work with you to address any areas where you need additional support or clarification. My goal is to ensure you gain the knowledge and skills promised in this course.
