#128: Whether conservation photography is a hobby, a side-gig or you're a full-time pro, you need to know how to document income and expenses for tax season.
(Even if this work is a "hobby" for you, the IRS might not see it that way and you need to have your ducks in a row come tax time. )
It's my mission to help you feel organized and prepared in ALL aspects of this field - including the biz side - so today I'm excited to talk with Tiffany Bastian from Bastian Accounting for Photographers!
Tiffany dives into what we need to know to prepare our businesses for tax season, and other aspects of running a successful conservation photography business, including:
- Why a separate bank account is the BEST thing you can have (even if photography is a hobby)
- Tips to set yourself up for a stress-free tax time
- The benefits of using accounting software like Quickbooks
- Her membership that teaches you how to build the structure of your photography business
- and more
Tiffany is passionate about helping photographers reach their dreams and becoming more proactive instead of reactive by making finance management accessible and not anxiety-driven.
As she puts it, "If you can show people how to do this stuff and that it's not hard, it doesn't become so anxiety-driven."
With energy and infectious enthusiasm, Tiffany opens up the dialogue on how we can make finance-related matters less overwhelming, so that workloads become more streamlined and proactive in the long run.
