GigFoundry builds the tools, guides, and systems that gig workers and freelancers need to manage taxes, retirement, insurance, and everything else that falls through the cracks when you don't have an HR department.
We create resources and tools purpose-built for people who work for themselves — from first-year DoorDash drivers to seasoned freelance consultants.
Step-by-step guides written for real people, not CPAs. We cover 1099s, Schedule C, quarterly estimates, deductions, and the mistakes that cost gig workers thousands.
Solo 401(k)s, SEP IRAs, ACA health insurance — the benefits you lost when you left W-2 employment, explained and demystified so you can actually set them up.
Calculators, checklists, templates, and systems to keep your financial life organized year-round — not just during tax season panic.
Never miss a quarterly payment or filing deadline again. We publish tax calendars and reminders specific to self-employed workers.
Tax rules vary wildly by state. Our resources include state-specific guidance so you're not guessing about your obligations in your jurisdiction.
Driving Uber and delivering for DoorDash and freelancing on Upwork? We specialize in the chaos of juggling multiple 1099 income streams.
Every GigFoundry publication is written in plain English, updated for the current tax year, and built around the real questions gig workers ask — not the ones textbooks think they should.
