If you've ever felt a sinking feeling as you send in your taxes, wondering if you're missing something (or have just signed and avoided the numbers altogether), you're not alone.

That’s why I brought in Danielle Hayden, founder of Kickstart Accounting, to break down exactly what photographers should be doing year-round to stay on top of their numbers, avoid surprises, and maximize their tax deductions. The truth is, that managing your business finances doesn’t have to be stressful. In fact, when you do it right, it actually helps you make more money.

And don’t worry—this isn’t a dry, accountant-speak episode. Danielle makes it practical, actionable, and yes, even empowering.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why bookkeeping is NOT your job (and what your actual role should be as a business owner)
  • The top tax deductions photographers miss (that could save you real money)
  • How to avoid common QuickBooks mistakes that can cost you thousands
  • What an accountable plan is and how it lowers your tax bill
  • The biggest tax season myths and what really matters when it comes to financial health

I know taxes aren’t exactly fun, but this conversation will help you sleep better at night—not just during tax season, but all year long.
