Description
In my first year of business, I decided to handle my own taxes.
I didn't make that much money from photography that year and I told myself that I couldn't "afford" an accountant.
This was one of the biggest mistakes I ever made and trust me when I say I paid for it later.
Tax season is one of the most stressful times of the year, which is why I'm excited to have Trevor Mckendrick on the show today.
Trevor has a masters in accounting and is a successful entrepreneur having just sold his tech startup for over $500,000 after scaling it to a 1,000,000+ users.
In today's episode, we cover everything a photographer needs to know about accounting and taxes.
