Earned handles the tax and wealth strategy. Barton Associates handles the opportunity — locum tenens assignments with national compensation data across every specialty.
Most physicians are excellent at medicine and were never taught how their 1099 income actually gets taxed. That gap is exactly where Earned and Barton meet — one helps you keep more of what you earn, the other helps you earn it on your own terms.
Using national market data and specialty-specific demand trends, Barton's salary guides break down where compensation is heading, which specialties are seeing the strongest demand, and how locum tenens work fits into different stages of a medical career — early career, peak-earning years, or the runway into retirement.
Earned and Barton have curated tax resources and webinars specifically for locum tenens and 1099 physicians. Explore year-end strategies, commonly missed deductions, and practical ways to make your locum income work harder for you.
