I am new to the photography business and need help with the business end of it. I am no good at keeping track of things and am terrified that when tax time comes I won’t have the necessary information. I would love to have your help with this! Thanks for the opportunity.
This would make it so much easier for me and my Tax Guy would be sooo happy when he gets my books instead of ripped, crumbled up paper and days later calling him with “Hey I found this, it needs to be added”.
I would love to be able to simplify my bookeeping! This would be awesome!
I’m “Liker” on FB!

After pouring over all of my files this year at tax time, I could definitely see the NEED for this for my business, not just the want for it. What a great “tool” to have!

This information would be really helpful to me and my business, because I am new at the “bookkeeping” side, and just don’t know where to start when it comes to organizing everything and keeping track! Having a tool like this will help me in the right direction so I’m not stressing during tax times, and wondering where an email is with vital information from a customer.

This would help me greatly! I’m only just getting started and if I could be organized from the GET GO, I believe it would truly help my business take off. Plus, I suck at taxes and knowing what to keep, what not to, what to put where, etc…. And that’s just my personal taxes! How heavenly it would be to have ANY help!
I just liked the Easy Accounting Solution for Photographers on FB! Looks awesome!

[...] Photographers love the creative side of what they do. They don’t however usually like the “business side” of their business. Photographers often comment that they wish there was a way to make it easier for them to take care of their accounting. Keeping track of how much your company makes (income from customers) is not the only thing you must keep track of. You must keep detailed records of your expenses too; this is especially important come tax time. If you have kept detailed records all year, tax-time is SO much less stressful! However, it can be difficult to know what to keep track of, and how to categorize it. The Easy Accounting Solution for the Photographer has come up with the solution! The Easy Accounting Solution for the Photographer is an easy-to-use Excel spreadsheet that was designed specifically for photographers. There is no prior bookkeeping or Excel knowledge needed. You get not only the Excel spreadsheet, but also a detailed Word write-up which not only tells you how to use the spreadsheet, but what items to track and how to track them. The Easy Accounting Solution for the Photographer is not only an accounting tool. It also allows you to keep a customer database (good for marketing) and a job tracking tab. One product to keep track of customers, jobs, invoicing, income, expenses, tax deductions, and more! A winner will be chosen Sunday Aug 8th @ 8pm MST so enter now!

The incredible thing about photography and editing is that we all see things differently. We shoot differently and envision the final edits differently. I love that. Just because I tend to lean in the realm of darker, richer, more vibrant editing, doesn’t mean that switching things up and changing my processes a little in post...
