Accounting for Content Creators, by an Enrolled Agent
Your channel is a business. Brand deals, AdSense, affiliate income, 1099-Ks from six platforms, quarterly taxes you find out about in April. Arc Creator Plans turn all of it into one flat monthly price, handled by Burak Genc, an Enrolled Agent with a Master of Science in Taxation, based in Culver City.
Switching from Cookie Finance?
If your bookkeeper left or your books got orphaned mid-year, the Creator Switch Kit is for you: a free review of your last prepared return, onboarding fee waived, up to 3 months of current-year catch-up bookkeeping free, and your price locked for 12 months. You keep your own QuickBooks and Gusto; nothing is trapped in a proprietary platform. Offer through August 31, 2026.

Why Creators Are Moving Here
01
An Enrolled Agent, not a platform.
Your returns are prepared and signed by an Enrolled Agent you can verify in the IRS directory, who can also represent you if the IRS sends a letter.
02
Your data stays yours.
We work in your QuickBooks and your Gusto. If you ever leave, you lose nothing.
03
Creator-literate.
Sponsorships, platform payouts, gifted products, home studio, equipment depreciation, multi-platform 1099-K reconciliation. This is the day job here.
04
Priced to last.
These plans are priced so the firm is still here next year. A $400 do-everything plan is how creators end up with orphaned books.
