How to QUICKLY Catch Up On Your Etsy Bookkeeping Without Missing Major Tax Deductions

As I am writing this post there are 42 days left to get your taxes done for 2020 and if you are like some of my Etsy and Handmade students, I know that you have not even started doing the bookkeeping for your Etsy or Handmade Store yet…
Well have no fear…. I am here to tell you how you can catch up on your bookkeeping SUPER fast and do it WITHOUT missing MAJOR tax deductions. 😊
Now, before I get into the goods, I NEVER, EVER recommend waiting until the last minute to get your bookkeeping done. In fact, I recommend doing it once a month and there are two reasons I recommend this.
The first reason to keep up with this monthly is to avoid this feeling of impending doom that you may have right now. There is nothing worse then staring down hundreds and thousands of transactions and different bank, credit card, PayPal and Etsy reports, trying to figure out just exactly where to start.
The second reason and probably more important reason to do this monthly, is that when you do your bookkeeping every month, you will actually be able to SEE inside of your business.
What I mean by “seeing” inside your business is that once a month when you sit down to do your bookkeeping you will be able to produce USEFUL and INSIGHTFUL reports that can tell you how your business is doing and use these reports to GROW and SCALE your business.
