The Creative Professional's Guide to Money: How to Think About It, How to Talk About it, How to Manage It

The Creative Professional's Guide to Money teaches creatives everything they need to know about the financial side of running a creative business.

Creatives — which include anyone promoting their own creative services (designers, copywriters, photographers, illustrators, interior designers, web designers, and more) — are great at their work, but when it comes to running the financial side of their business, most would rather not talk about it. This book focuses on proven techniques and resources used by a wide range of successful creatives to manage their business finances. Expert advisers are interviewed on topics such as accounting, taxes, contracts and financial planning. Using examples, case studies, and real-life stories from actual creatives, this book addresses:

How to build the financial structure of a creative business from the ground up

How to set up and achieve long-term financial goals and plan for a prosperous retirement

Common financial mistakes small business owners make and how to avoid them

How to handle taxes and insurance

How to perform day-to-day accounting tasks

How to create a budget and adhere to it

What to charge for work and how to determine a profit margin
