Guess her tax bill in the comments. I’ll tell you how close you are. 👇
Jessi Jean is nosy. I’m nosy for a living. 🧾
$7.5M in revenue, $507K in expenses, $7.05M in net profit, and then the sentence every business owner knows: “but that’s not what I get to take home.”
My ballpark, US federal, before state and before anything clever: $2.5M to $3M. Roughly a third. That’s a house. In some cities, several.
The number isn’t the interesting part. The interesting part is a question nobody asks the seven-figure girl: did she see this coming? Was a third of every Stripe payout moving into a separate account the day it landed? If yes, that bill is boring. If no, it’s the most expensive surprise of her year, and it was sitting in plain sight the whole time.
I’ve watched this at every size. $70K years and $7M years, same mistake: the balance looked like theirs, and a third of it was already spoken for.
Running a profitable business you love takes two things. The accountability to look at the numbers before the 1st of the month. And the strategy to act on what they say. One without the other is how a great year turns into a scramble in April.
My own version, so you know I eat what I cook: 2027, $100K in cash, separate account, every month, before I spend a dollar. Goal is to clear my business loan. Same rule I’d hand her.
