Many artists struggle with inconsistent pay amounts and various timing of income which makes it difficult to maintain accurate records, much less to predict and plan for the future. This seminar will provide advice on creating and maintaining simple, yet powerful, spreadsheets and data to keep your financial picture in check and help predict and improve future performance. The seminar will address using QuickBooks online and/or free software such as Waveapps.
What You’ll Learn:
- Tips and tricks to predict your income and improve your financial performance.
- How to easily create and maintain powerful spreadsheets to keep your finances in check.
- Budgeting beyond the spreadsheet with tools designed with financial reporting in mind: Waveapps and QuickBooks Online.
