Classes
Accounting for the Wooly-Minded
If you’ve ever contemplated your stash or design notebook and thought, “I should turn this into a career,” this class is for you. (It’s also for those who have fledgling knit-related businesses). We’ll be covering the basics of business record-keeping and US tax reporting by way of a comprehensive sheep-to-sock accounting example. Along the way, we’ll discuss why the IRS rules are what they are, paper and software accounting systems, and how to make the record-keeping process a useful tool instead of a procrastinated duty.
