200+ creatives have unf*cked their biz
“There's nothing like this that I've come across.”
Emily, owner of Anna Delores PhotographyFrom frazzled to buttoned up.
Feeling like our bestie Frazzled Fran?
- She's one failed payment from the IRS busting her door down
- Paperwork is everywhere
- Bookkeeping systems are systemless
- Cash flow is a train wreck
- And she has no idea if her business is properly protected with trademarks, LLCs, contracts, and insurance
We want you feeling like Buttoned-Up Betsy.
- She formed an S corp to save taxes and set up payroll
- Her bookkeeper has the numbers organized and sends monthly reports
- Contracts are solid and the business is legally compliant
- Her tax preparer is an email away
- She has a routine to pay herself, her taxes, and her investments
Say goodbye to
Say hello to
Raise a finger if…
This is you right now
Any of these hit a little too close to home?
- You're killin' it in your creative biz, but your marketing game has far outpaced your legal + tax acumen
- You feel like you're one second away from getting your ass sued (or needing to sue someone else)
- The thought of IRS hate mail flooding your mailbox keeps you up at night
- You're just generally overwhelmed, stressed, and have #allthequestions
Or if you're pretty OK…
…but you want to learn more about:
- How you're taxed and how to save
- How to pay yourself and be profitable
- How to protect your biz with contracts, LLCs, trademarks, and insurance
- How to set up a strong legal + tax foundation to grow your business with peace of mind
Any fingers up? Then it's time to…
Hop off the carousel of chaos and contradictory advice.
The lawyer says one thing. The accountant says another. Your peers don't really know. And the internet is a sh*t show.
You need one solution to piece it all together.
Real talk.
It's totally possible to fully understand how your business is legally operating, what your obligations are, and what deadlines you need to meet. This doesn't require a law degree or a ton of time. Once you get started unf*cking your biz, you can:
The book is the textbookKick the legal and tax gremlins to the curb.
If you fully participate in the program, you'll walk away with:
Say goodbye to these guys…
…all while staying off Uncle Sam's naughty list.
The framework.
UYB is built around one step-by-step framework. Short videos walk you through each part and teach you to implement it in your own business, not just learn about it.
Account
Bookkeeping basics, bank accounts, and how to create and analyze a P&L, so you finally know your numbers.
Get your books up to date.
Tax
How taxes actually work, what you need to pay, quarterly taxes, deductions, and how to save.
Set your quarterly tax percentage with our Quarterly Tax Calculator.
Unf*ck
Clean up the mess in three parts: back taxes, formation mistakes, and worker classification.
Complete your back tax strategy (if needed), fix entity mistakes, and finish your contractor classifications.
Layer
Stack your layers of protection: contracts, insurance, and intellectual property.
Get your contracts, insurance, and IP protection in place.
Form
Choose the right entity, decide if an S corp makes sense, and handle your state filings.
Form (or fix) your LLC, and elect S corp status if it saves you money.
Cash Flow
Pay yourself on purpose and build a routine to stay on top of it all, long after the program ends.
Set your routine to pay yourself, your taxes, and your future.

Hiring a lawyer, bookkeeper, and accountant to do everything covered in UYB? Easily $10,000+. And that's before the cost of mistakes.
Plus what not knowing costs you: excess taxes from forming your S corp too late (or too early), late fees on quarterlies, lost revenue to client refunds, penalties for contractor misclassification… and the $10,000 decisions you can't make because you can't read your numbers.

Your teacherHi! I'm Braden.
Ultimately, what we all want is a healthy and profitable business. In 2019, I brought all my education and expertise into this one program to bring that mission to life. Since then, over 200 creatives have gone through it.
I've done it. You can too.
I didn't start out with my legal and tax sh*t together either.
My credit score when I got my bar results. Yikes.
What I made my first year in business.
Year 3: $70,000 in revenue, but at 50% profitability, only about $25,000 left after tax. I could barely contribute to our household, and I constantly worried I wouldn't be able to stay self-employed.
So I dug deep, focused on profit, prioritized paying myself, and built systems around each goal. Now I pay myself a regular salary, and I want to help you do the same.
Why I love helping creatives.
Confession: I have tried (and failed) to be a “creative” myself.
Growing up, I loved HGTV and art. But while it doesn't take much talent to have a creative hobby, it definitely takes skill and practice to monetize a creative passion and turn it into a career.
By working with creatives, I get to use my skill in law and tax while vicariously working in the creative industry through all of you amazing creativepreneurs. That's why I love what I do.
I personally cannot wait to guide you over the coming months…
I wake up every morning excited to roll up my sleeves and help my people. I've helped hundreds of business owners shift from constant confusion about their legal and tax obligations to confidently knocking those tasks out, and shifting their focus to strategic, profit-driven decisions.
You owe it to yourself to do the same. We'll dial in your long-term goals so you can focus on your short-term objectives. Inside Unf*ck Your Biz, you'll take real, tangible action to move your business forward, put more money in your personal bank account, and protect it with solid legal strategy.
200+ grads and counting.
You could be our next success story.
I do a lot of educational courses online and other things, and there's nothing like this that I've come across. Anything I've taken up until this point hasn't, I feel like, added nearly as much value to my business as this single program.
Hear from our grads on the podcast.
Real students, real businesses, real (sometimes messy) stories.
Emily joined because she was ready to hire employees, but first wanted to form her S corp and streamline her cash flow.
Listen ▶Karen had already formed her LLC with LegalZoom, but quickly realized she'd made some mistakes and wanted to build a solid foundation.
Listen ▶Kristi was only 23 when she joined. She had multiple successful businesses but needed to streamline her cash flow and business structure, and take care of some back taxes.
Listen ▶Crystal moved from Florida to California while pivoting away from wedding photography. She wanted a solid financial and legal foundation for her new endeavors.
Listen ▶After a decade in business, Courtney knew her finances and legal setup needed work, and it all felt overwhelming at tax time. In the program, she formed her LLC, updated her contracts, and took care of back taxes.
Listen ▶Suzanne developed her contracts and formed her LLC. Module 1 built her confidence once she knew how much to save for taxes, and she used our bookkeeping spreadsheet before moving to QuickBooks.
Listen ▶An event manager turned VA, Stephanie took Braden's free two-week challenge and found out legal and tax could actually be fun. She joined to set everything up correctly from the beginning.
Listen ▶Maddie and Felicia had a successful business but realized their tax and bookkeeping systems weren't really, well, systems. They joined to form their partnership into an LLC and build those systems.
Listen ▶Amber joined primarily to get caught up on back taxes. She also needed to convert her single-member LLC to a multi-member LLC and get her partnership documents and business licenses in order.
Listen ▶JScot was juggling several projects and new business opportunities. His goal was to streamline his business and get the legal and tax side of things squared away.

Some FAQs.
The questions we get asked most. Got one that's not here? Ask us.
Why can't I just hire someone to do this all?
You can, and eventually you should! But you're still the CEO. You need to know enough to read the numbers your bookkeeper sends, ask your accountant the right questions, and know what you need a lawyer for (and when).
UYB gives you that know-how, so you hire the right people at the right time and actually know if they're doing a good job.
What's the time commitment?
To be an A+ student, we recommend setting aside about 2 hours per week. Do that, and you can likely finish in 12 weeks with a fully unf*cked business, right alongside the group.
How long do I get access?
You get access to the course for the lifetime of the course, plus 12 weeks of group coaching support to get you through the program.
What's the difference between UYB and VIP?
Both get the full program, resources, weekly Q&A, Voxer group, and a trademark search.
VIP adds done-with-you support: a bookkeeping session with a trusted bookkeeper from our network, two 30-minute consults with Braden, your S corp salary report, and your trademark filed (1 class). VIP is capped at 10 spots, and it's best if you're already making money.
I haven't made any money yet. Is this for me?
Yes! Honestly, it's the best time. Setting up your legal and tax foundation the right way from day one is way easier (and cheaper) than fixing it later. Start with the core program; you can always add more support as you grow.
Is the Contract Club included?
No, the Contract Club is sold separately. In UYB, you'll learn which contracts your business needs and why, so you know exactly what to grab.
When does it start?
Doors open in December. Join the waitlist to be the first to know (and get first dibs on the 10 VIP spots).
