For the past year+, I have had a good friend teach me QuickBooks for all my accounting. Now, most photographers hate this aspect of running their business. I totally understand that lack of interest in doing numbers crunching when you’d rather be creative. But I was a business major in college, almost MBA bound, and I did market research for 10 years of my corporate life so I actually, secretly, ENJOY looking at my numbers — not that I look forward to sitting down and doing this each month but it’s a necessary evil in some ways. It hasn’t been an easy process to learn it and do it right, but I’m so so so grateful to my friend Lynn for helping me along the way. She came by monthly for about a year, going thru my statements, and doing that magic word, “reconciling” it, so that I can analyze it and fix what’s off track. Thanks Lynn! You’ve helped my business become more successful consequently.
To return the favor, if that’s even possible, I took her kids out for a shoot. David is one of Jackson’s best buds and they went to overnight camp together this summer.
