t t tax . . .


aaaarrrggggggghhhhh!

This is my second day straight of entering all my tax data into a spreadsheet. I have an appointment with my accountant coming up, and like any exam, you have to walk in prepared.

Through this process I’m finding some interesting facts about my business (and therefore my life). Aside from the regular tidbits like; I should have remembered to download my banking data every three months as suggested (thanks bank, for telling me that noooow), so as to not have to trawl through individual monthly statements. Among the slightly more interesting things is this one – while I thought I had a pretty busy year, it looks like I still managed to find plenty of time to hang out at Koodak.

I now find myself looking back on the good old days, when I had my interior design business. I could walk into the accountants office with one pile of invoices and another of receipts and be done with the whole thing in half a day. Including the data entry.

Though back then some of my most creative acts were coming up with the figure that would appear in bold at the bottom of each quotation.
