    Gillian, could you make a video on tax preparation/expectations for small businesses? As well as ways in which small businesses can earn their keep rather than lose it all to the IRS? Many youtubers don't talk about this aspect, and I'm curious about what to expect once my business picks up. (Plus, I just watched a video on the new IRS $600 rule that is to affect the 2023 tax year.) Thanks!

    If I need to use this all year is it best to create a new download for each month or just keep adding the dates for the entire year on one spreadsheet?

    Hi Gillian, I run a marketing agency, and my packages really differ. Do you recommend my income categories to be by name of the client (since I do a mix of services for all so far) or by actual service/package?
    Thanks!

    • @gillianzperkins
      @gillianzperkins  19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Great question! I'd organize your categories just by the different types of services you offer. Or, if most of your packages are a blend of different marketing services, then you could just have one product category that's "marketing services" or "marketing consulting." Hope that helps!

    You didn't actually cover all the steps required to change an Expense Category Name. That would be helpful. There are several options that pop up after changing the text to complete the action so all the money gets tabulated and carried over to the Income Statement. Would you please do another video with all the steps required?

I am using Excel, and trying to set up my own bookkeeping system with it, and finding that I need better formulas in order to make things more automated. Hoping your sheet can be converted and if your formulas will still work within that conversion. Thank you.
