Accounting For Your Creative Business
Today we're talking about setting up accounting for your creative business. Yeah, it’s a little daunting, but it’s SO IMPORTANT because accounting for your business is super frickin’ important. And if you don't want to end up like me with a $10,000 tax bill, literally every time it's tax season, you should probably listen to or watch this episode.
Here’s what we’re covering:
- Separate bank accounts - get a master business license for $60 in Ontario, this will allow you to get a bank account
- Set up an accounting system like Wave or Quickbooks or Freshbooks
- A way to track sales, either with your acting system or POS like shopify
- Track every transaction coming in and out of your biz with categories
- Keep a running tally of your profit, this is what you will be taxed on
- Hire an accountant that is awesome and not stupid and KNOW what you’re supposed to be looking for
Check out Melissa Houston’s podcast The Business Society for more on your business finances thebusinesssociety.co/podcast/

    So what's the difference between omni-directional, bi-directional, and stereo? They all seem about the same.. Also cardoid doesn't seem to block much out behind it.

    • @theultimatecreative7076
      @theultimatecreative7076 2 роки тому

      omni-directional: You can be sitting anywhere around the mic and it will pick up sound bi-directional: the mic should only pick up sound on opposite sides of the mic, each with a mono (single) channel stereo: will pick up left and right channels (two channels) when sitting in front of the mic cardioid: the level of sensitivity of a blue yeti mic is really high, so it's going to pick up a lot more than other microphones with a cardioid pickup pattern. to reduce this, turn the gain down on the mic so that it doesn't try to grab the sound coming from everywhere in the room. hope this help!

      This can happen if the device has been damaged sometimes, or if the manufacturing process created a faulty mic. If it's super stuck and super new, see if you can get a replacement! Otherwise you may need to find a safe way to loosen up the dial!
