NIL Changed College Sports...
But Financial Education Isn't Part of the Conversation
The reality is, NIL created a generation of young athletes who are suddenly managing business income, taxes, and financial decisions without ever being taught how.
But most athletes were never taught taxes, compliance, saving, investing, or how to manage that money.
That's the gap I'm here to help fill.
Let's be straight...
You didn't become an athlete to worry about taxes.
The NIL money starts coming in. Brand deals, collective payments, rev-share, appearances.
Then come the questions nobody prepared you for.
How much do I save for taxes?
Wait....I have to pay taxes throughout the year?!
How can I pay less taxes?
Can I write this off?
Most athletes are left to figure this out on their own, and that's how money disappears without you even noticing.
You've worked too hard to lose more money that should be staying in your pocket.
How I Help Athletes
Tax return preparation, quarterly payments, 1099 reporting, and year-round support so athletes, parents, and agents never have to wonder if something is falling through the cracks.
Income tracking, expense tracking, and a financial system built around your real life - brand deals, slow months, and everything in between.
I'm Elaizah!
I have 10+ years of accounting experience, a BBA in Accounting, and an MBA. But honestly, that's not why I built this business.
I built it because I saw a huge gap.
Athletes are making more money than ever through NIL, but most are being handed financial responsibilities they were never taught how to handle. One day you're focused on school, practice, and competition. The next you're dealing with contracts, 1099s, taxes, and sponsorship income.
My husband has spent years coaching and training athletes, and I've seen firsthand how much support athletes have in their sport, and how little support they often have when it comes to their finances.
That's why I created Simplified Accounting Services.
Today, I work alongside athletes, parents, and agents to help athletes keep more of what they earn, avoid costly mistakes, and build something that lasts long after their playing days are over.
We're Paying Athletes Like Business Owners
But very few are being taught how to manage money like one.
That's why I'm here. You don't have to figure this out alone.
I'm here to help athletes, parents, and agents navigate the financial side of NIL so athletes can stay compliant, avoid costly mistakes, and build healthy financial habits from day one.
