The Business of Arts: Becoming Profitably Creative
WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU
I translate business, finance, tax, and accounting-speak into the language spoken by artisans in a non-threatening, easy to understand manner that supports their worth, protects their wealth, and focuses them back onto their own art.
BUSINESS COACHING
- protect your work and your wealth with the right business structure

TAX PLANNING
- lower your anxiety by understanding your tax obligations
- minimize your taxes to the legal limit

ACCOUNTING

- minimize wasteful expenses by knowing where your money’s spent
WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT MY WORK
To anyone needing accounting or general business advice – and especially to entrepreneurs who are looking for someone who can appreciate that bookkeeping is not everyone’s cup of tea and do not readily take to it – I recommend Robert Schuller without reservation. — Jeff Brown, Yay Now – children’s edu/tainment
I attended your breakout session at the SWAMP event on Saturday. I was struck not only by your thorough knowledge and helpful materials but by your enthusiasm for helping people better understand the system and succeed in their artistic endeavors. — Wendell Burton, Producer & Actor
WHO MIGHT USE ME
- Actively-working artisans who want to treat their business as a business, but don’t necessarily know how… and don’t want to take the time and energy away from their art to become financial experts. Being a working artist doesn’t have to be a struggle.
- Hobbyists looking to make the transition to working artisan. Start your arts business on a good foundation; I’ll help you build yours.
- Established producers starting up their latest production entity. I’ll open and staff your back office… quickly and effectively.
