Meet Rafael

Rafael ran his own design studio for five years, so he knows the feast-or-famine pattern of working for yourself first hand. Today he helps creatives, consultants and founders build the safety net a payroll team would usually provide.

Expect a warm, lively conversation and a simple routine you can keep up in ten minutes a month.

Working together

  1. 01

    Split business and personal money and set yourself a clear monthly salary.

  2. 02

    Put tax aside automatically so April never comes as a shock.

    Choose the right retirement account for your income and stage of business.
