After taxes, what do you actually keep? If you earn like a creator, with a dozen platforms, no set schedule, and brand deals and gifted product in the mix, Post is the app that finally tells you. Post is built for how creators actually earn, not a generic accounting tool with the labels swapped. SEE EVERY DOLLAR Connect your bank, Stripe, YouTube, and more. Post stitches your income together across every platform: ad revenue, brand deals, affiliate, Patreon, payouts. Your real numbers are one tap away. No spreadsheet, no month-end ritual. KNOW WHAT TO SET ASIDE A real tax engine covering federal, self-employment, and state shows you what to put away each month, so quarterly payments stop being an ambush. The tax math is created and reviewed by a team of accountants. TRACK BRAND DEALS START TO FINISH Draft, signed, delivered, invoiced, paid, one tap at each stage. Contracts, due dates, and invoices live alongside everything else. Gifted product is logged at fair market value, so it never surprises you in April. CAPTURE WRITE-OFFS IN SECONDS Snap a receipt and Post reads it with AI, filed under the right tax category. Forward email receipts to your Post inbox and they land there too. EXPORT, OR HAND IT OFF Every plan includes a tax-software-ready export for filing yourself or handing to your accountant. Want it done for you? Add a CPA-filed return. SIMPLE PLANS, NO SURPRISES Start with a 30-day free trial. Paid plans start at $24/month, billed through the App Store. You're never charged before the trial ends, and you can cancel anytime. Invite your own CPA at no extra cost on Pro. Post is made by Novel, LLC. We're serious about your financial data, and you can reach us directly at help@postforcreators.com.
