Hi, I’m Alex (Alejandro).
I started Solo Finance CO after running into the same problem a lot of self-employed people hit sooner or later: most financial advice online is written for employees with a W-2 and a steady paycheck, not for someone juggling multiple clients, quarterly taxes, and a retirement account they have to set up themselves.
As someone building my own business from the ground up, I wanted a place that explains the practical, specific questions freelancers actually search for — how much to set aside for taxes, whether an LLC is worth it, which invoicing tool to use, how to deduct health insurance — in plain language, without the fluff.
How We Research and Write
Every article on this site is built around the same process:
- We start from official sources. For tax and legal topics, that means the IRS, HealthCare.gov, and other government resources — not guesses or outdated blog posts copied from somewhere else.
- We verify current figures before publishing. Contribution limits, tax brackets, deadlines, and deduction rules change every year, so we check current numbers against primary sources rather than relying on older articles that may be stale.
- We update articles as rules change. Tax and benefits law shifts often. When a figure or a rule changes, our goal is to revise the relevant article rather than leave outdated information live.
What We’re Not
This is important, so we want to say it plainly: Solo Finance CO is an educational resource, not a substitute for professional advice. Nothing on this site is personalized tax, legal, financial, or insurance advice. We’re not a CPA firm, a law firm, or a registered financial advisor, and the content here shouldn’t be the only thing you rely on for a decision with real financial consequences.
Every article that touches taxes, retirement accounts, health insurance, or business structure includes a reminder of this. Use what you read here to ask better questions, then bring those questions to a licensed CPA, attorney, or financial advisor before making a decision that matters.
Who This Site Is For
- Freelancers and independent contractors filing a Schedule C for the first time
- Solopreneurs trying to decide between a sole proprietorship, an LLC, or an S-Corp
- Self-employed workers comparing SEP IRAs, Solo 401(k)s, and other retirement options
- Anyone self-employed trying to make sense of health insurance without an employer plan
- Freelancers comparing invoicing, accounting, and expense-tracking tools
A Note on How We Make Money
Solo Finance CO may earn a commission when you sign up for certain products or services through links on this site, at no extra cost to you. This never affects which tools or options we recommend — our goal is to point you toward what’s actually useful for a self-employed worker, not what pays the highest commission.
