The Business of Design is your Business

Every designer, every creative individual needs a great financial advisor or accountant. Everyone. No Exception. As a professional artist I've had an accountant for the past 25 years. The same one and she is absolutely terrific. She used to work for the IRS and she (Gale Williams) knows her business. She has advised me well over the years and has saved me tons of money and gotten me into the habit of keeping every receipt and every payment I've ever made for electricity, gas, cable, phones, electronics, magazines, movies, computers, paper, greeting cards, books, Music, entertainment for clients or individuals in the business, etc. You name it and I write it off...within reason.
Get yourself an accountant now and your life will be made so much easier at tax time.
I'm dead serious. Don't wait.
