Here is your chance to receive a FREE copy of The Easy Accounting Solution for the Photographer!!!

Photographers love the creative side of what they do.  They don’t however usually like the “business side” of their business.  Photographers often comment that they wish there was a way to make it easier for them to take care of their accounting.  Keeping track of how much your company makes (income from customers) is not the only thing you must keep track of.  You must keep detailed records of your expenses too; this is especially important come tax time.  If you have kept detailed records all year, tax-time is SO much less stressful!  However, it can be difficult to know what to keep track of, and how to categorize it.

The Easy Accounting Solution for the Photographer has come up with the solution!  The Easy Accounting Solution for the Photographer is an easy-to-use Excel spreadsheet that was designed specifically for photographers.  There is no prior bookkeeping or Excel knowledge needed.  You get not only the Excel spreadsheet, but also a detailed Word write-up which not only tells you how to use the spreadsheet, but what items to track and how to track them.

The Easy Accounting Solution for the Photographer is not only an accounting tool.  It also allows you to keep a customer database (good for marketing) and a job tracking tab.  One product to keep track of customers, jobs, invoicing, income, expenses, tax deductions, and more!

To win you must:

1. Go to The Easy Accounting Solution for the Photographer Facebook page and click “Like” at the top of the page.

2. Comment on this blog letting us know why you think this would be a great product for you and your business.

3. A winner will be chosen at random on August 6, 2010 at 2:00pm EST

4. All others may use discount code TPP15 to purchase a copy of The Easy Accounting Solution for the Photographer at a 15% discount.  The discount code expires with the closing of the giveaway on August 6, 2010 at 2:00pm – don’t miss it!
