Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Cookie for?

Cookie’s clients are creators, usually earning $75K or more annually from their content, whether that’s AdSense, brand deals, sponsorships, affiliate income, or merch. For those in the earlier stages of their creator journey, we have a starter product called Business Essentials. Overall, if you’re running a creator business and want to get serious about it, Cookie is for you.

What does Cookie actually do?

Cookie is a financial platform for creators, influencers and bloggers backed by a real human team of accountants. You get monthly bookkeeping, quarterly and year-end tax filing, and business filings like LLC and S Corp formation, all built around how creator income actually works. Real accountants are there for setup, questions, key milestones and emergencies.

How is Cookie different from a regular accountant?

Most accountants don’t understand creator income. AdSense, brand deals, and affiliate payouts each carry different tax treatments, a generalist firm might miss that and may not even understand the expenses and deductions that apply to you. Cookie was built by a CPA (certified public accountant) with extensive knowledge of creator needs, so that expertise is built into the platform from the start. At Cookie, we speak your language.

Do I have to do anything, or does Cookie handle it all?

You’ll need to keep your bank accounts connected and share the financial documents Cookie needs to handle bookkeeping, tax prep, and filings. You’ll also need to make final calls on tax strategy and pay the actual taxes. You know your business better than anyone. Cookie brings the financial expertise to back you up.

How much does Cookie cost?

Plans start at $29/month for business essentials and LLC formation. Full-service bookkeeping and tax plans start at $325/month, with an S Corp plan at $400/month for creators earning $100K or more. All plans are month-to-month, with no long-term contract. However, there is also the option to pay for the year upfront.

Do I need an LLC before I sign up?

No. Cookie can help you form an LLC as part of getting set up. If you’re not sure whether an LLC or S Corp makes sense for you, that’s exactly the kind of question your Cookie team can help you sort out.

How quickly can I get started?

It starts with a quick call to learn about your business and income. From there, Cookie sets up your accounts and gets your dashboard running, so you can see where you stand and what you need to do from day one.

Why should I trust Cookie with my taxes?

Cookie was founded by a CPA who watched creators in his own family get bad advice from traditional accountants who didn’t understand their business. That gap is the reason Cookie exists. Cookie employs licensed CPAs and works exclusively with content creators.

What qualifications does Cookie's team have?

Cookie was built by a CPA, and that same standard of expertise runs through the team today. Every Cookie team member specializes specifically in creator finances, so you don’t have to explain AdSense payouts or brand deal structures to someone hearing about them for the first time.

Does Cookie handle my personal taxes too?

Yes, we do!
