Hello.
TLDR: Advice helps but would like direction and recommendations for people/firms on who to consult and hire
Live in Louisiana, married, filed jointly in 2024 and 2025
Combined W2 salaries ~$175k
Side Income: Etsy store (Under her name, not mine), about $15k/year revenue

Context
I work as an engineer and as the TLDR stated, am married and have dual income with an etsy shop on the side.
I also have been putting a good bit of money into AI, Cloud Servers, and my time while building a stoc
