Solo Founders: Greycroft CPAs on Demand, No Office Required

Solo founders know the grind. You’re building your SaaS, Shopify store, or consulting practice while IRS deadlines creep closer. Self-employment taxes take 15.3% of every dollar earned. State nexus questions multiply monthly. Multiple 1099s create filing confusion.

Greycroft CPAs exists for this exact reality.

We serve solo founders and one-person businesses who need licensed CPAs working at your pace—no office visits, no corporate bureaucracy, just practical tax strategy for entrepreneurs building alone.




Why Greycroft CPAs Gets Solo Founders

Traditional CPA firms are built for large companies with layers of staff and slow processes.
Greycroft CPAs specializes in the 99% of businesses run by solo founders with lean teams and big ambitions.

We help:

  • Micro-SaaS founders time S-corp elections correctly

  • Shopify store owners navigate multi-state nexus

  • NRI founders structure under US–India DTAA

  • Consultants manage 1099 reconciliation and quarterly taxes

Our model is async-first:

  • Text or email your CPA directly

  • Secure Google Drive for QuickBooks, Stripe, and PayPal

  • Notion dashboards for deadlines, R&D credits, and planning

  • Year-round access—questions never wait for tax season




The Daily Tax Challenges Solo Founders Face

Solo founders encounter predictable tax pain points:

  • Multiple 1099s from platforms create Schedule C confusion
    → We consolidate everything and uncover missed deductions

  • Self-employment tax drains profits
    → Proper S-corp timing (ideal $80K–$300K revenue) eliminates excess tax

  • Economic nexus triggers surprise state taxes
    → We map nexus exposure and automate compliance

  • R&D credits go unclaimed
    → We identify qualifying software and innovation expenses
