I paid $350k to the IRS because I didn’t know what I was doing.
I was supposed to make $550k with my first RSUs — and nearly all of it went to the IRS. It was devastating.
I spent years researching every trick and paying every wealth manager, accountant and lawyer out there. I realized a lot of these strategies could be automated and made much cheaper — that’s why I started Candor.
