If bookkeeping feels like:
Imagine….
Understanding how to keep tabs on the financial health of your handmade, creative or craft business. With our specially designed bookkeeping resources, you’ll always be in the know about your money’s movements, giving you the power to make informed decisions at any moment.
You’ve probably heard…..
That you can turn your love of fiber into a profitable 5 or 6-figure business, but the path to success is paved with financial groundwork. Without a solid financial foundation, your dreams might remain just that — dreams.
Here’s why having a solid financial foundation is crucial:
- Working without a plan is like wandering aimlessly. Whether it’s a sales strategy or financial planning, both are essential.
- Don’t be one-sided; focus on both selling and managing your finances.
- A robust financial base is the cornerstone to a 5 or 6-figure handmade business.
Now, here’s the hard truth – overnight success just isn’t that easy when you run a handmade business!
If you’re determined to build a 5 or 6-figure handmade business, you need a bookkeeping system that has your back. The time to act is NOW because there’s a lot of groundwork to cover!
You’ve probably heard this advice from just about every handmade business coach out there:
- “Just hook up with your local Small Business Administration (SBA); they’ll help you with your bookkeeping.”
- “Hire a CPA, they’re experts in bookkeeping.”
But let’s debunk the myths:
- The SBA can guide you in setting up and registering your business but struggles with making accounting jargon understandable.
- CPAs are costly and specialize in taxes, not the fundamental bookkeeping knowledge you need.
If …….
I want to help you change all that and provide you with a way to get your books tax-preparer-ready … minus the stress and confusion that often goes along with accounting terminology and number crunching.
Don’t let another bookkeeping day slip by due to fear of what you might uncover! Empower yourself by getting to know your financial data; it’s one of the most impactful steps toward success.
As a seasoned bookkeeper with an Accounting degree, I’ve learned there are 7 steps to success-driven bookkeeping:
- Master the lingo of accounting.
- Learn the correct processes.
- Figure out what is and isn’t a deductible expense for tax purposes.
- Demystify Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold (COGS).
- Understand when Sales Tax is and isn’t included in Income and when it is or isn’t deductible.
- Do the bookkeeping (on a regular weekly/monthly basis).
- Analyze your numbers like a pro.
Most folks skip the first 5 steps, dabble in the 6th, and ignore the 7th – which leaves them more confused and ill-prepared when tax time rolls around.
That’s exactly why you might feel overwhelmed and stressed when dealing with your books and numbers.
SO, YOU JUST GIVE UP!
But here’s the game-changer: It doesn’t have to be this way!
If you want MORE money flowing into your business bank account, you must learn the right way to manage your books. Even if it feels like:
- Learning a new language.
- Navigating a maze of procedures.
- Deciphering deductible expenses for this year’s taxes is a puzzle.
- Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold is something that only the IRS and CPAs understand!
- Sales Tax is the MOST confusing AF thing on earth and the IRS publications make you question your ability to read and understand the written language!
- Doing your bookkeeping on a weekly/monthly basis is a total waste of time!
- You have NO IDEA how to analyze your numbers.
