Valim Discount 2026: 45% Off Tax Filing by Ex-Big 4 CPAs
Sep 04, 2026
The best Valim discount in 2026: Creator Access Network members get 45% off all tax return filings, individual and business, with ex-Big 4 CPAs, plus year-round tax advisory and estimated-payment planning at no extra cost and one free tax planning consultation to review your entity setup. Per Valim, the combination often saves Creators an estimated $2,000 per return. Open to all CAN members, new and existing Valim clients alike.
What Valim actually is
Valim is a tax filing and advisory firm led by ex-Big 4 CPAs, built for people whose taxes do not fit neatly in a W-2: multiple income streams, brand revenue, business entities, quarterly estimates. Technology handles the grunt work so returns turn around in hours instead of weeks, responses come within 24 hours, and everything is explained in plain language. Crucially, it is built for year-round support: ongoing planning through life events and estimated payments, not a once-a-year scramble.
That last part is where Creators lose the most money. Filing is retrospective; planning is where entity structure, deductions, and timing actually change what you owe. Valim includes the advisory alongside the filing, and the free consultation reviews your current setup for immediate savings before you pay for anything.
What the CAN discount is worth
| Benefit | What members get |
|---|---|
| Tax return filings | 45% off, individual and business (standard runs about $800-$1,000 per return, per partner terms) |
| Year-round advisory | Tax advisory and estimated-payment planning by ex-Big 4 CPAs, no extra cost |
| Tax planning consultation | One free session reviewing your entity setup for immediate savings |
- ✓ Per Valim, the estimated savings often run $2,000 per return: below-CPA-market pricing, the 45% discount on top, and the tax savings the planning finds
- ✓ CAN membership is $49 per year; the filing discount alone returns that many times over
- ✓ Open to new and existing CAN members with no other restrictions
Valim pros and cons: who it's for
It is a good fit if:
- ✓ Your Creator income has outgrown DIY tax software: multiple streams, an entity, quarterly estimates
- ✓ You want a CPA who answers within a day, year-round, not just in April
- ✓ You suspect your entity setup is leaving money on the table, which the free consult checks
Look elsewhere if:
- ✗ Your taxes are one W-2 and a standard deduction, where filing software is fine
- ✗ You want full-service monthly bookkeeping bundled in, which is more the ClearPath model
How it compares to your other options

| ClearPath | CAN's own accountants, full-service tax and bookkeeping | Built for $100k+ Creator businesses | Yes, 25% off for 12 months |
| Boring Stuff | Back-office and financial ops for high-earning Creators | Broader than tax filing alone | Yes, member discount |
