How much can a tax strategist save me as a content creator?
Short answer
It depends on your income, structure and current return, but across 137 DeCypher clients on 2023 to 2025 returns, the median client saved $32,798 and cut their tax bill by 61%. These are not guarantees, and every creator's situation is different.

| 2024 | 77 | $3,908,433 |
| 2023 | 30 | $1,007,689 |
How clients were spread across all years:
| Saved per client | Clients | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Under $10K | 24 | 18% |
| $10K to $50K | 65 | 47% |
| $50K to $100K | 19 | 14% |
| Over $100K | 29 | 21% |
How we measure it: we prepare two returns for every recap. The before return uses your income with no write-offs and no tax strategy. The after return is what you actually paid. The savings are the difference.
Where savings usually come from: an S-Corp election, retirement contributions, write-offs caught through weekly bookkeeping, the right home office method, and fixing errors on past returns.
