Built for creators
Modern & AI-powered
Miami-based
You’re earning real money across any of the following platforms: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, OnlyFans, Fansly, Patreon, and brand deals. You have no real idea what you actually owe.
Your “bookkeeping” is a banking app and a vague memory.
You’ve never paid quarterly taxes, or you’re not sure you’re doing it right.
Income lands in five different accounts and platforms, and nothing is organized.
You got hit with a surprise tax bill last year and never want that feeling again.
You’re wondering if you should be an LLC or S-corp, but the whole thing feels overwhelming.
You want someone who actually understands creator income, platform payouts, the gross-vs-net 1099-K trap, all of it, and won’t judge you for how you earn.

Start Here
Behind On Your Books? Start Here.
Most creators don’t come to us with clean books. They come with a banking app, a folder of receipts, and a couple of years they’d rather not think about. That’s normal, and it’s exactly what we fix. Every client starts with a one-time cleanup and QuickBooks setup, scoped after a short diagnostic so we both know precisely what we’re walking into. Once your books are current, you roll into the monthly tier that fits.
Cleanup is quoted, not guessed, typically starting around $500–$750 depending on scope.
Years of un-tracked income
Mixed personal & business accounts
Missing platform payout records
Net-vs-gross 1099-K issues
No QuickBooks (or a messy one)
Returns that are behind or never filed

About
Meet Carlson & Brown
We're Kory Carlson and Mitchell Brown. We started Carlson & Brown because creators kept telling us the same thing: accountants don't speak their language. Big firms judged them. Apps left them exposed. So we built the third option, a firm that actually understands creator income, doesn't judge, and can explain it all in plain terms.
Kory Carlson
Kory leads bookkeeping and systems work, organizing chaos into clean, current books. He comes from a finance and economics background, which means he thinks in numbers and patterns. But he's equally hands-on with tax work, and clients work with him directly on all sides of their money.
Mitchell Brown
Mitchell leads tax prep and tax planning, staying ahead of quarterly deadlines and spotting planning opportunities before April hits. His accounting background means he speaks the IRS's language fluently. Like Kory, he handles bookkeeping equally and works directly with clients on the full picture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you only do taxes? No. Most clients are on a monthly plan, year-round bookkeeping, plus tax prep and planning on the higher tiers. The goal is a system, not a once-a-year scramble.
Do I need the cleanup? Usually, yes. We can’t plan or file accurately on messy books, so most creators start with a one-time cleanup and QuickBooks setup.
Do you actually understand what I do? Completely. We're not generational accountants. We're your age, we understand brand deals, multi-platform income, and OF. We speak the same language. No jargon, no judgment.
What credentials do you bring? We’re specialized tax preparers and bookkeepers focused entirely on the creator economy, registered with the IRS to prepare and e-file returns. When something calls for another specialist, we’ll tell you and connect you with one we trust.
Can you help me decide on an LLC or S-corp? We’ll model the numbers and walk you through how each option generally works as part of planning. The legal formation itself runs through an attorney, we coordinate it with you.
Do you promise tax savings? No. We build clean, compliant systems and surface planning opportunities where they legally exist. What changes depends on your specific situation.
Is my information private? Completely. Sensitive details and documents go through a secure portal, never regular email, and discretion is built into how we work.
Do you work remotely? Yes. We’re Miami-based and work with creators both in person and remotely, over video, secure portal, and direct messaging.
How fast do you respond? Fast, responsiveness is a core part of what you’re paying for. Higher tiers get priority response.
