Bookkeeping for Artists & Freelancers

Bookkeepers help small artists keep track of their income and expenses while optimizing their profitability and growth. Running a creative business can be a lot of work, so hiring a professional accountant to do your bookkeeping can substantially offload some of the work that you have to do as an independent creative.

Bookkeeping Software for Creatives

Outsourced bookkeeping means more time for you to do what you love.

QuickBooks Online is an important tool for your creative business. If you aren’t already using it we can help you review and straighten out your books to make the transition as painless as possible. Some people take one look at their records and shudder at the thought of deciphering it. Don’t worry if that sounds familiar; we promise we’ve seen worse.

If you’re already using QuickBooks we can offer advice on maximizing its benefits and helping you use your reports to strategize and plan for the future. Whether you choose QuickBooks or a different platform, Giersch Group will help you make the most of your online accounting software so you can get back to creating.

Affordable Bookkeeping for Freelancers & Independent Contractors

No matter your business endeavor, having a positive relationship with your financial data is a must. Whether you’re self-employed, work a series of gigs or consider yourself an online entrepreneur, getting paid and growing your business starts with knowing your numbers.

We provide growth-oriented bookkeeping & accounting services for:

• Self-employed professionals (including coaches & trainers)
• Amazon, Etsy & eBay sellers
• Direct sellers
• Social influencers (including current and rising YouTube stars)
• Rideshare drivers

Making better decisions based on sound financial data is the key to success in businesses of all sizes. Start with a free, no-obligation consult with our professionals to get answers to your questions and learn more.

Taxi, Uber & Lyft drivers

Many freelancers or otherwise self-employed workers also work as rideshare drivers to supplement their income. Taxi, uber and lyft drivers who are categorized as self-employed or an independent contractor have special considerations when it comes to tracking their income and paying taxes. When drivers are considered self-employed they’re subject to self-employment tax, which is like payroll taxes for full-time employees.

In this case however a self-employed person has to pay both the employee’s and employer’s share of the Social Security and Medicare withholdings. It’s very important for independent contractors to have a clear understanding of income reporting and how to take advantage of all available deductions in order to minimize your tax bill.

If you work in the taxi or rideshare industry (or are thinking about it) and have questions about accounting or tax compliance, please contact us for a consultation to learn how our bookkeeping services for self-employed people can improve your relationship with numbers.
