No. 001 · For Creators

Know what you made. Know what you owe. Know what's yours.

Brand deals, AdSense, affiliate codes, gifted hauls — Post turns the mess into one number you can trust, and a tax bill that never surprises you.

Double-entry. Balanced. Ready for your tax return.

One example. Every dollar in Post gets the same treatment — automatically, invisibly, correctly.

What Post does

Three things that matter.

01
One honest number for every place money lands.

AdSense pays you for a video two months late. The brand wired $4,500 when the contract said $5,000. The PR haul on your desk is taxable income. Post stitches your bank, platforms, and deals into one number — written in creator ("brand deal," "gifted"), not accountant ("4000 · Revenue — Services").

02
The IRS expects a check four times a year. Most creators guess.

Post recalculates what you owe every time money lands — your state, your filing status, your real deductions, not a flat 30% — and tells you exactly what to set aside this month so the quarterly deadline is a number, not a panic. Planning estimates only — confirm with your CPA before paying.

03
Tax time arrives with the work already done.

A full draft return — Schedule C, every number filled in from the year you already tracked. File it yourself with the step-by-step guide, hand your CPA a package they'll actually thank you for, or add the $299 CPA-filed return. Your call, zero re-typing.

Taxes, done your way

The work is already done. You just pick who finishes it.

When tax time comes, you get a full draft of your return — every number filled in. From there, it’s your call.

Most creators earning real money pay a bookkeeper $300–800 every month. Or wrestle with software built for a plumber. Or do nothing and pay for it in April.
Post is built for you. And it starts at a fraction of that.

For your CPA

We work with your CPA. Not around them.

Most creator finance tools try to replace your accountant. Post doesn’t. If you already have a CPA you trust, give them access — they’ll see your books in proper accounting language, and they’ll be ready to file in minutes instead of hours.

Read-only access, free seat

Invite your CPA as a collaborator. They get their own view of your finances — no extra login, no extra charge.

Books in accounting language

They see journal entries, financial statements, and tax-ready exports — everything they expect, the way they expect it.

Notes, questions, adjustments

Comment on any transaction. Flag items. Post adjusting entries alongside yours. All in one place.

Tax season, already done

When April hits, they're not asking you for a spreadsheet. They already have everything.

Most CPAs tell us Post saves them hours per creator client. Your accountant keeps the strategy work. The data entry goes away.

How it works

Three steps. Five minutes.

01
Connect your platforms.

Link YouTube, Stripe, Shopify, your bank — wherever your money lands. Takes five minutes.

02
Capture what you spend.

Snap a receipt, forward an email, or let Post auto-match a bank charge. Scan before the charge posts or after — Post stitches them together either way. Every expense categorized for you, you review, never type.

Know what's yours.

See your money in, your money out, and what goes to taxes. Quarterly check-ins, not April panic.

Everything Post does

Twelve features. One subscription.

01
Income

One honest number, every source

Platforms that pay two months late, brand wires that come in short, bank deposits with no label — pulled in, deduped, and stitched together so "what did I actually make?" always has an answer.

02
Deals

Brand deal tracker

Every deal from draft → active → delivered → invoiced → paid, with deliverables and contract upload. Know exactly who owes you.

03
Creator-native

Gifted product FMV + usage

PR packages show up as income at fair market value. Tag them for-content, personal, or returning — we keep them out of your tax bill when appropriate.

And the rest
AI capture
Receipts that capture themselves

Snap a photo or forward an email. Post reads the merchant, total, tax, and line items, then stitches it to the matching bank charge — scan first or charge first, same result.

AI categorization
Bank transactions, pre-categorized

Your bank feed syncs nightly. AI files each charge into the right tax bucket the night it posts, and links it to any receipt you already scanned.

Taxes
Real tax engine

Federal, self-employment, state — calculated live so you always know what to set aside. CPA-reviewed math, not a flat 30%.

Taxes
1099 reconciliation

We match every 1099 against the income we already tracked. Mismatches and missing forms get flagged before the IRS finds them.

All plans
Tax-software-ready export

Every number you'll need, line by line — ready to drop into TurboTax, FreeTaxUSA, H&R Block, or Cash App Taxes. About 20 minutes to file.

All plans
Quarterly set-aside tracker

Target, current balance, remaining owed — with reminders 7 days, 1 day, and day-of each estimated-payment deadline.

Pro
CPA collaborator seat

Invite your accountant as a collaborator. They get their own view — accounting language, comments, adjusting entries. Free on Pro.

iOS
Mobile capture (iOS)

Native iOS app: snap a receipt one-handed in the checkout line, swipe through uncategorized charges like a deck of cards, and watch the set-aside number update on your lock screen widget.

All plans
Your data, always yours

Full CSV + PDF export on any plan. Delete your account and we hard-delete within 30 days, no questions.

How we check the math

A licensed accountant reviews every tax calculation.

Creator tax is full of edge cases — gifted product FMV, 1099 mismatches, state nexus, the OBBBA brackets that just changed. Every number you see in Post is either calculated from first principles or reviewed by a licensed CPA. That's the whole job.

01
Specced

Every tax rule is written up, cited (IRS code, Treasury regs, state law), and logged before a line of code gets written.

02
Implemented

Engineer translates the spec into code. Golden-value tests lock the exact numbers we expect the engine to produce.

03
CPA-reviewed

Our in-house CPA reviews every tax calculation before it ships. When the IRS rules change, they update the math — you don't.

04
Locked

Tests run on every pull request. A change that breaks a tax number can't reach production until the CPA signs off again.

Built for creators earning real money across multiple platforms.

If you’re tired of guessing what you made and dreading April, you’re who we built this for.

Questions

Frequently asked.

No. QuickBooks is built for plumbers and retailers who sell widgets. Post is built for you — where your income is YouTube ads, brand deals, Patreon, affiliate codes, and gifted product. Different income, different tool.

None. You see your money in creator language — brand deals, gifted stuff, people you pay. The accounting happens automatically underneath, and it's real accounting, not a simplified version. Your CPA will thank you.

Yes — and it's free. Inviting your CPA is included on Pro, no seat fee. They see your books in accounting language: journal entries, financial statements, tax-ready exports. Most CPAs tell us it saves them hours per client.

Only if you want it to. A lot of creators file their own taxes with the step-by-step guide Post provides. Others hand it off to their existing CPA, who loves the clean data. And some add the $299 CPA-filed return — managed filing through a partner CPA. Your call.

Post itself is not a tax preparer or accounting firm. Filing happens through one of three paths you pick: DIY via TurboTax / FreeTaxUSA / H&R Block, your own CPA (invite them as a collaborator on Pro — free), or managed filing through a partner CPA. Managed filing is a $299 one-time add-on available on both Essentials and Pro. The CPA-creator engagement is governed by a separate engagement letter you'll sign before filing.

Yes. Post gives you a full draft of your return with every number filled in, plus a step-by-step guide to copy those numbers into any tax software you already trust — TurboTax, FreeTaxUSA, H&R Block, Cash App Taxes, whatever. Most people finish in about 20 minutes.

Real math, not a flat percentage. Federal, self-employment, and state — calculated month by month based on your tracked earnings, state, filing status, and deductions. The engine was co-built with a licensed CPA, so the rules behind every number are the same ones a CPA would use. Per-user numbers remain planning estimates — review with your CPA before filing or paying.

Yes. Snap a photo and Post reads the merchant, total, tax, and line items — then suggests a tax category for you to confirm. You review, never type. Your bank transactions get the same treatment the night they post.

Post matches them. Scan the receipt before the bank charge posts and Post links it up a day or two later when the charge lands. Scan after the charge hits and Post finds the matching transaction to attach. Either order, same result — one line item, never two.

No. IRC § 6001 and IRS Publication 583 say a categorized bank or card statement already satisfies recordkeeping for most business expenses. The $75 receipt rule itself comes from Treas. Reg. § 1.274-5T(c)(2)(iii) — receipts aren't required below that amount (other than for lodging, which always needs one). Post asks for a receipt photo only when it actually matters: over $75 at ambiguous merchants (Amazon, Target, Walmart, Costco), any hotel stay, cash purchases that aren't in your bank feed, or meals where we also need a quick note about who was there. Everything else, we skip the nag — that's the differentiator.

Gifted product is taxable at fair market value. Post looks up the retail price, tags each item as for-content, personal, or returning, and keeps it out of your tax bill when you don't use it for work. No competitor does this.

Post matches every 1099 against the income we already tracked. If a brand's 1099 amount doesn't match what you remember, we flag it — before the IRS does.

YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Stripe, Shopify, Patreon, and any bank account via Plaid. We're adding more integrations every month.
