YES, I WANT THIS!Etsy's reporting stinks. Let me make it easier.
Listen, I love Etsy. It is hands down my favorite online platform for handmade sellers. BUT there is one part of the Etsy dashboard that I wish they would improve - reports. It's very confusing to get the information you need, even if you know what you're looking for. That's why I'm breaking it down for you - line by line, column by column so that you don't miss anything important.
Taxes aren't everyone's cup of tea.
It's ok, I get it. I was an accountant for 20+ years (both in public and private accounting) so I love numbers. BUT I know I'm the oddball! It's why I created this program for you - so that tax time is easier and less scary! Then you can get back to doing what you do best - creating!

Let me tell you an insider secret...
I worked in public accounting for several years and I can absolutely tell you that we charged the clients with messy records more than the ones who were organized. Why? Because we had to spend so much more time on their account. Not to mention that it's much easier to avoid missing deductions when the records are neat and orderly! Whether you do your taxes yourself or you hand them off to a CPA, this program will help you get organized so that you save time and money!
