Sawtelle clients appreciate service that’s flexible, thoughtful, and forward-looking. They don’t want just another tax preparer—they want a financial ally who understands the challenges and opportunities of non-traditional careers, gig work, and growing businesses.

Tax Filing for Freelancers & Creatives

We work with digital artists, videographers, chefs, and more to simplify tax prep, capture every deduction, and stay organized across multiple income streams.

From pop-up food brands to small storefronts, we provide monthly bookkeeping, sales tax filing, and tax returns that keep your business compliant and agile.

Thinking about registering your business? We’ll walk you through entity selection, set-up, and tax advantages based on your goals and income level.
