Built for 1099 CRNAs and anesthesiologists

You built a high‑income anesthesia career. Why are you still running it with generic advice?

For most 1099 anesthesia providers, the real leak is not income. It is the structure around the income — entity decisions, contract terms, tax strategy, and poor review habits. The leak is usually between $15K and $40K per year. Most of us never see it.

Because the experts already failed you.
This is where you stop relying on vague expert language and start understanding the actual moving parts.
The problem

The money is not always missing because you did not earn enough.

Sometimes it is missing because the people you trusted never built a system for someone like you.

Most 1099 anesthesia providers are guessing on the highest‑value financial decisions in their business.

  • They formed an entity because someone said they should, not because they understood the tradeoffs.
  • They signed contracts before they knew what terms actually mattered.
  • They assume their CPA is catching details they have never verified.
  • They make enough money to hide mistakes, which is why the mistakes live so long.

That leads to the same expensive pattern.

  • You work hard.
  • You gross a lot.
  • You feel like you should be further ahead.
  • You open the return, the contract, or the year-end numbers and think, this cannot be right.

Usually that feeling is not paranoia. It is your brain noticing that nobody ever explained the mechanism.

Why trust this

This community was built in the OR hallway, not in a marketing brainstorm.

It came from repeated conversations with smart anesthesia providers asking the same question: why am I making this much and still unsure whether any of this is set up correctly?

A practicing CRNA built the thing he wished already existed.

I’m Richard Graf — CRNA, licensed in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. I run my practice as an S-Corp through ER Anesthesia LLC. I grossed over $800,000 in 2025 working 3,000+ hours as a 1099 contractor.

I work in the real 1099 world, not in theory. That matters because most advice sounds good until it collides with an actual return, an actual contract, or an actual multi-state work pattern.

Colleagues kept asking the same questions: what entity did you choose, how do you think about compensation, what do you deduct, how do you review your CPA’s work, which contracts are worth negotiating, and which ones are not worth saving.

After hearing the same pain points enough times, the obvious answer was to build one place for the framework, the lessons, and the questions that should have been answered years ago.

The moment the blind trust broke.

My accountant called. Said I was getting an $8,000 refund. Something felt off — I pushed back and asked if he was sure. He told me yes, $8K was correct. I almost signed it.

The next day he called back.

He had forgotten to check a box. The real refund was $28,000. I almost left $20,000 on the table — without ever knowing.

That is the point. High-income clinicians are often not losing because they are careless. They are losing because they assume the paid professional is doing work they never verified.

This community is built for the moment after that illusion dies. When you decide that earning more is no longer enough, and the real job is tightening the system around what you already earn.

What month one should do

You should not need six months to feel the difference.

The first win is not magic savings. The first win is clarity: seeing where the leak probably is, what questions need answering next, and what deserves a second look before another decision gets locked in.

What the leak actually looks like

Most mistakes do not look dramatic when they happen. They look normal.

That is why they survive so long. They hide inside paperwork, assumptions, and vague professional language until the dollar amount gets large enough to hurt.

What usually causes the leak

  • Generic CPAs who do not understand anesthesia-specific realities
  • Contracts that sound acceptable until you model the economics
  • Entity decisions made once and never re-examined
  • High earners outsourcing responsibility without a framework to review the work

How this community helps fix it

  • Understand the structure before tax season forces the issue.
  • Ask better questions before the contract is signed.
  • Review what comes back instead of assuming it is correct.
  • Use practical checklists to reduce avoidable blind spots.
  • Keep more of what you already earned by making fewer expensive errors.
Not for everyone

If this sounds a little too familiar, you are probably the right buyer.

This is not for everybody. It is for anesthesia providers who want a tighter operating system around the money they already earn.

You are a fit if…

  • You work 1099 and want to stop guessing.
  • You have a CPA but you are no longer willing to trust and pray.
  • You want better questions before tax season, not after the damage.
  • You care more about clarity than financial cosplay.

You are not a fit if…

  • You want someone to promise magic savings without context.
  • You do not want to learn the logic behind your own structure.
  • You are looking for generic entrepreneur motivation.
  • You think high income automatically means optimized decisions.

What changes after joining

  • You understand the major moving parts.
  • You know what to ask and what to review.
  • You stop relying on vague expert language.
  • You make decisions with more confidence and less expensive ignorance.

A Letter From Me

If you're still reading.

Most people who land on a page like this won't still be reading at this point. You are.

That tells me something. You've probably been underserved by a CPA before. Or you've watched someone around you make the move to 1099 and wondered if you're leaving money on the table. Or you've signed a tax return this year and felt — in a way you couldn't articulate — that something was off.

All three of those feelings are real. They're the reason this exists.

I'm not going to promise you'll become a tax expert. I'm not going to promise the strategies in here will save you a specific dollar amount — I don't know your situation, and anyone who gives you a number on a sales page is lying to you.

What I can promise: you will know more than you do right now. You will ask better questions. You will stop signing things you don't understand. You will have a room full of providers asking the same questions you are — and tools built by someone who's earning 1099 income at the level you want to.

That's what I have to offer.

If that's enough — I'll see you inside.

FAQ

Questions I've already been asked.

Seven questions I've already fielded about this community. Answered directly — not the way marketing would answer them.

Is this tax advice?

No. Everything inside is educational — frameworks, tools, and citations to IRS code. Nothing in the community constitutes legal, tax, or financial advice. You still need a qualified CPA who knows your specific situation.

What the community does give you is the ability to evaluate whether your CPA is actually doing the job you're paying them for. That's a different service than tax preparation — and most providers don't have it.

I don't have an S‑Corp yet. Is this still useful?

You're in the right place. The Entity Structuring Guide covers LLC vs Sole Prop vs S-Corp, the state strategy that affects your election, and how to decide based on your income, your licenses, and where you work.

The roadmap works whether you're exploring 1099, newly independent, or running an S-Corp you're not sure is set up correctly. Most members fall in that third category.

I already have a great CPA. Why would I need this?

Even better. Use the CPA Vetting Checklist to confirm it. A specialist will pass the 20 questions cleanly. If they do, you walk away more confident. If they don't — that's the information you were missing.

The community isn't a replacement for your CPA. It's the framework that lets you show up to your CPA relationship as the informed client they deserve.

How is this different from a course?

Courses end. This is a living community. Tax law changes every year. The tools in here get updated when it does. New modules ship as members ask questions the existing content doesn't cover.

You also get access to a room of other 1099 anesthesia providers asking the same questions you are — which is something a PDF can't do. The Q&A sessions, the referral directory, the shared wins — that's community, not curriculum.

Is there a guarantee?

The 7-day free trial is the guarantee. You see the entire community before a single charge hits your card. Open every tool, read every module, attend the live Q&A, review the referral directory.

If after seven days you decide it's not what I said it was — you leave and pay nothing. No refund form, no %retention call, no hoops.

What if I join, learn nothing new, and want to leave after a month?

Two clicks in your account, you're out. No cancellation phone tree. No retention specialist. No "what would it take to keep you." Just one button.

I'd rather you leave easily than trap you in a subscription you don't want. A community full of reluctant members is not a community I'm interested in running.

Why $47? Why locked for life?

The first 50 members are shaping what this community becomes. You're here before the content vault is full, before the referral directory has dozens of vetted specialists, before the waitlist builds. That deserves a different rate than someone who joins once it's fully built.

When the 50 founding spots fill, the rate goes to $97/month and stays there. Your $47 rate doesn't. Your rate is locked for as long as you remain a member.

Only 50 founding spots available

Another year of vague answers is expensive.

Join 1099 Anesthesia Advantage and tighten the system around tax strategy, contracts, entity structure, and professional review — before another return, another contract, or another bad assumption costs you more than it should.
