 Use The Strategies of a Tax Expert with 20+ Years of Experience

Hi! I’m Alexis Gallati, founder of Cerebral Tax Advisors.

When I saw the first FOUR MONTHS of my husband's paychecks going to taxes, I knew something had to change for healthcare professionals and business owners.

...It was like he had worked a third of the year without being paid! 

And this is the reality for too many healthcare professionals…

Because they don’t receive ANY education when it comes to running their own businesses (or even just their personal finances.)

The minimal tax advice they get is reactive, rather than proactive - and with no solid plan in place, they end up paying an unnecessary amount in taxes.

I’ve been in the tax industry for over 20 years, and I’ve been trained at the highest level, holding two master’s degrees, one in Business Administration and the other in Taxation. 

I serve as an Enrolled Agent, an NTPI Fellow, and a Certified Tax Strategist, and I’m experienced and educated not only on how to stay compliant with the IRS and states, but also on the various tax strategies available to help taxpayers keep more of what they earn!

I’m now a leading tax strategist for medical professionals, and my goal is to help them save more of their hard-earned income. 

Why did I decide to specialize in healthcare professionals? Because my husband is a neurosurgeon! 

And by the time I realized he was literally working for free 4 months of the year, he was already at the tail end of his residency. 

Most physicians, locum tenen, and independent healthcare providers make a huge mistake by using non-specialized tax services, which give reactive advice, rather than outline a proactive PLAN for future tax savings.

 

We knew that once my husband left residency, we’d be moving up several tax brackets, and we weren’t ready to see that hard-earned money taken away. 

He’d invested too much time, money, and energy into his career to have such a big chunk of his earnings go straight to taxes.

See, with income from independent contracting, you have a LOT more to wrap your head around than a W-2 employee. 

And this isn’t just about your income…it’s about your ENTIRE business. 

Things like choosing the proper entity, maintaining it, and determining reasonable compensation are all things that could make or break you when tax season rolls around. 

But if all of this is ringing a bell, and you have an inkling that you’re doing something wrong…

You’re probably wondering how you even begin to start educating yourself and setting up your business properly.

Not only is my husband a neurosurgeon, but my father’s also a physician, and seeing these two smart and hardworking individuals pay a large chunk of their earnings to taxes made me realize that there just aren’t enough tax education resources out there for independent contractor physicians! 

I hear the same stories from my clients almost every day, and see 1099 healthcare workers fall victim to the same tax traps over and over again.   

That’s why I created a course specifically for locum tenen physicians, practice owners, and healthcare providers with side gigs to create proactive plans for themselves in just 4 weeks, and start keeping more of what they earn!

My goal with this course is to educate you in a straightforward, easy, and efficient manner that will cut through a lot of the noise from your non-specialized advisors, your friends, the Internet, and late-night TV.

Everything in this course is exactly what I’ve used to help my husband make a more robust take-home pay for our family.

So I’m not going to give you fluff; I’m going to give you a straight line to knowing your options, understanding the pros and cons of those options, and building a tax plan for your business that will ultimately save you money. 

My team and I are looking forward to serving you with the actionable strategies found inside the “Doctor’s 4-Week Guide to Smart Tax Planning.”

Sincerely,

Alexis Gallati

What Alexis’ Clients Are Saying…

You’re Leaving Money on the Table...

If you’re a healthcare professional with 1099 income as an independent contractor, I can nearly guarantee that you are overpaying on taxes.

While my physician husband was in residency, we realized 4 months of his salary was going straight to taxes. We saw that in our future as his income increased, our taxes would increase substantially.

We felt robbed.

And he’s not the only healthcare professional with this frustration.

In fact, most healthcare professionals don’t know how to optimize their taxes because they try to figure it out on their own, or they work with tax professionals who don’t know or care enough to make sure you’re keeping as much of your hard-earned money as possible.

When was the last time your tax professional said to you, “I have some tax strategies to save you money”?

The answer is probably never. So…

Investing in Your Own Peace of Mind

But what does that really look like?

That’s how life-changing these strategies can be!

Introducing The Doctor’s 4-Week Guide to Smart Tax Planning:

Actionable Strategies for Side Gigs and Locum Tenens to Boost Savings

Combining my 20+ years of experience in this industry (where I create tax plans and implement creative strategies daily) and the research I did for my own family, I discovered unique strategies and tactics that any medical professional with 1099 income can use to boost their own tax savings.

And I share all of this knowledge in my course so that you can confidently utilize the legal tax strategies that the IRS actually wants you to be using – yes, they’re there for a reason! – that most physicians and accountants aren’t even aware of...

The reality is, with a step-by-step process laid out for you that will demystify this often overwhelming process, you can DIY your taxes…

...And you’ll likely do a much better job than most tax professionals who have no idea that many of these strategies even exist!

So let us help you cut down on precious time spent studying and wading through garbage on the internet…

In just 4 weeks, you’ll know your options, understand the pros and cons of those options, and be able to build a tax plan for your business that will ultimately save you money.
