Margo is joined by tax expert Hannah Cole who specializes in working with creative businesses and mission-driven solopreneurs. A long-time working artist herself, she’s helped tens of thousands of self-employed people skill up with accessible tax and money education, through her Money Bootcamp program, speaking engagements from Florida to Alaska, and on the Sunlight podcast. She is the founder of Sunlight Tax. As artists carve their paths through various industries, they encounter a myriad of challenges, yet financial literacy is rarely addressed, leading to feelings of failure and shame. Today’s conversation with Hannah sheds light on this systemic failure and turns it into a journey of empowerment and self-compassion (something all creatives should have)!
Margo and Hannah discuss:
- The responsibilities that come with being a small business owner in the US
- Navigating self-employment taxes and optimizing deductions
- Personal struggles that Hannah faced within her own creative career and financial literacy
- What propelled her towards accounting education
- How she acts as a translator between the creative and tax worlds
- Simple advice artists can implement today when it comes to money management
- Her Money Bootcamp program and podcast
- How to save more money
- And more!
