Matthew Sercely – Agorist Tax Advisor Ep. 92

Matthew Sercely has been a licensed attorney since 2009, and in 2020 he founded his own company to provide tax advice and planning for small businesses.

He is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and side-hustlers by setting up their businesses to legally avoid as much tax as possible.

While he exclusively works with those who have or are starting businesses, Matthew’s weekly newsletter offers general advice that anyone can use.

When he's not screwing with the government, Matthew enjoys camping, weightlifting, and gaming.
