How to Organize Your Finances As a Freelancer
As any freelancer or small business owner will tell you, managing your finances is a huge part of the job.
From the ebbs and flows of self-employment income to keeping track of all your deductible expenses to paying quarterly estimated taxes, managing your personal and business finances is no small feat.
But, having a clear, organized system for keeping track of everything is a great place to start.
As two freelancers and musicpreneurs, Steve and I have found that sorting our money into different places helps us manage multiple income streams and work toward our savings goals.
It also makes paying quarterly taxes much easier.
