The Freshest Way to Run Your Business? Lettuce. 

Lettuce's Approach

Built for Tax-Optimized Solopreneurs

Lettuce operates as your complete financial back office, handling the complex tax strategy that most solopreneurs avoid until it costs them thousands. The platform doesn't just track your money; it actively restructures how you operate to maximize what you keep.

• Complete S Corp Infrastructure

  Handles everything from S Corp formation to ongoing compliance, eliminating the need for separate legal, accounting, and payroll services.

• Intelligent Payment Allocation

  Incoming payments get automatically distributed across salary, expenses, tax withholding, and profits through an integrated clearing account that maintains IRS compliance.

• Proactive Tax Management

  Real-time projections show exactly how much you're saving compared to sole proprietorship status, with continuous monitoring that adjusts withholdings as your income fluctuates.

• Where Lettuce Helps

  The system shines brightest when your income crosses $80K annually. At that threshold, the tax savings typically range from $8,000 to $15,000 per year. This figure far exceeds the platform cost and justifies the S Corp structure's requirements.
