How our financial solution for self-employed business owners works
You have the power to control your financial future. It's time to unleash it. Collective offers the first back-office designed for self-employed business owners - company formation, tax, accounting, bookkeeping services, and useful resources for starting a small business.
Getting started is easy.
Here at Collective, we're kind of obsessed with S Corps. Why? Because the way you organize your business makes a big difference in how much you pay in taxes. And for most self-employed businesses, forming an S Corp could lead to big tax savings.
When you become a member, you get your own accounting team and software to track and manage your finances.
