5 Easy Ways to Keep Your Finances in Good Shape

Here are some simple things you can do that make a big difference:

1. Keep Business and Personal Money Separate

Open a separate bank account for your business. It makes everything easier when tracking income and expenses—and keeps things clean for tax time.

2. Write Down All Income and Expenses

Track what you earn at each event and what you spend on supplies, fuel, permits, and more. Even small costs add up.

💡 Tip: Use an app like QuickBooks or a spreadsheet. We can help you set this up if you’re not sure where to start.

3. Save for Taxes Every Month

Set aside part of what you earn—about 25%—so you’re not surprised by a big tax bill later.

4. Know Which Events Make the Most Money

Not every school event or festival brings in the same results. Keep track of where your best profits come from so you can focus on what works.

5. Ask for Help When You Need It

Don’t wait until tax season to ask questions. The right accountant can help you all year long—not just with taxes, but with advice on how to grow and manage your business better.
