Step 3 Appearance fee settlement & Tax Accounting automation SaaS for Freelancer broadcasters/creators

Problem

Freelancer broadcasters, YouTubers, and podcasters who hold simultaneous appearance contracts with multiple production companies/platforms face payment timelines varying from 30–90 days post-filming, with different withholding tax (3.3%) and VAT treatments per engagement—spending 3–5 hours monthly tracking settlements. It's common to discover unreported income during year-end tax filing, resulting in penalty surcharges.

Solution

When appearance contracts are registered, the system auto-generates a calendar of expected payment dates and tax treatment methods, then matches them against bank deposit records to automatically detect unsettled invoices. Provides comprehensive income tax estimation simulations and expense deduction guides.

Target: Freelancer broadcasters with annual appearance income of $22,500–$150,000, multi-channel creators (YouTube + podcast + broadcast), and managers at talent management agencies
Revenue Model: SaaS Monthly Subscription $22/account (individual), Management agency plan $74/10 users, Tax accountant referral fee $3.75 Per Transaction
Ecosystem Role: Infrastructure
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
