You were placed on this earth to express your creativity in wild and imaginative ways, NOT to balance a checkbook. But you realize you need at least one foot in the business door, and you don't want it to get stuck. Luckily, Rich Streitfeld can take some of the stress out of the numbers game, allowing you to devote more time to your art.

During this presentation Rich will also cover some fundamental concepts to help you succeed in your creative venture – not quite without trying, but certainly without crying.

  • What can artists deduct?
  • Keeping the books
  • Quick overview of financial statements (painless, Rich promises)
  • Sales tax blues
  • Minimizing audit risk
