Today is that day every year that I vow to myself that I’ll do it all different this year. But I never do and so the cycle continues. A year ago I bought myself that nice blue accounting ledger with the promise to myself to record all my sales and expenses and to keep everything up to date. Well yeah, I filled it all in today from January 2010 through December 2010. I still have credit card statements to go through and then I’m going to see if I can make sense of it enough to enter it all into QuickBooks. Then it all gets sent off to our tax accountant for him to scratch his head and wonder how I’m capable of feeding myself.
I had a decent system set up by professional accountants when I had the store. But I’ve found it was overkill for my Etsy business and I thought just keeping records the old fashioned way would suffice. But now I’m not so sure. I’m sure there is a middle ground somewhere but of my many talents, bookkeeping/accounting isn’t one of them. AT ALL. First failing grade I ever received was in Accounting. It makes sense to me in theory but in practice I’m an epic fail.
You will also notice the two cans of Diet Pepsi and the now empty fun-size candy bar bag. Maybe that explains why my heart feels like it is about to beat out of my chest.
