Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income TaxesDuring the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $188,018 and $24,015, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense of $493,286 and income tax benefit of $560,976, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory tax rate due to permanent differences, discrete items and state taxes. The Company's effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to the Company's ERC refunds from the Internal Revenue Service. The tax effect of the refund amount, net of the related consulting fees, is treated as a discrete item for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the pre-tax income reported by The Joint without the VIEs.
