WorkMade in a Nutshell

WorkMade is the all-in-one back office built for freelancers, creators, and solo business owners who want to spend zerobrain-cycles on bookkeeping, taxes, or compliance. Link your bank accounts once, swipe your WorkMade Card, and our AI accountant silently:

  1. tracks every dollar you earn

  2. writes off every dollar you spend

  3. files and pays your federal + state taxes on time—automatically

Fun fact: The name “WorkMade” riffs on the phrase “work made easy.” We dropped the “e” (because who needs extra letters?) and built a product that drops every other extra step the IRS normally forces on you.


What can I do with WorkMade?

Below are the six core super-powers WorkMade gives modern freelancers. Use any one, or unlock the whole stack:

1 Your Taxes on Autopay

  • Real-time withholding the instant income hits your WorkMade account

  • Automatic quarterly + annual payments to the IRS and your state

  • Live “safe-to-spend” balance so you never overspend tax money again

2 Automatic Bookkeeping

  • Categorizes every transaction as it happens (no spreadsheets)

  • AI flags grey-area spends—tap Business, Personal, or Need help?

  • Audit-ready books exportable in seconds

3 LLC Creation & Management

  • Form an LLC in any U.S. state directly inside the app

  • Free EIN registration, registered-agent service, and annual report reminders

  • Option to import an existing LLC and let WorkMade handle the paperwork

4 WorkMade Card (Virtual + Physical)

  • Instant virtual card—add to Apple Wallet in one tap

  • Physical card ships in 3 – 5 business days

  • Every swipe auto-writes off the expense and books it for you

5 AI Accountant (Voice & Chat)

  • Ask anything, 24 / 7: “Can I deduct my iPhone?” → immediate answer

  • Voice mode feels like talking to a real CPA (minus the hourly rate)

  • Escalates to a human accountant when you’d rather speak to a person

6 All-in-one Banking for Freelancers

  • FDIC-insured checking built right in

  • Instant transfers between sub-accounts (tax, operating, savings)

  • No minimums, no hidden fees, no surprise holds
