At the Bottom Line

Eight issues. Clear conversations. Practical perspective.

Launching in late 2026, At the Bottom Line brings Doug Rutter and tax attorney Armin J. Jezari together for straightforward conversations about the tax problems people face—and the steps toward resolving them.

The inaugural season features eight episodes, each focused on a distinct tax issue. In approximately three to five minutes, Doug and Armin will help viewers understand the problem, recognize why it matters, and consider what to do next.

Drawing on Doug’s experience helping taxpayers since 1988 and Armin’s perspective as a tax attorney, the series makes complex subjects more approachable for individuals, families, and business owners.

Produced by Rutter Media, At the Bottom Line begins with a simple conviction: understanding your situation is the first step toward taking control.
