THE PURPOSE:

While the focus is on artists, the explanations and examples incorporate common materials and ideas that anyone can apply to their own area.

As an artist running a small business, I was frustrated when I found nothing on the market explaining the books from a layman's perspective. So, I dug in and discovered that keeping the books involves income, sales, assorted taxes; making a living; financial statements and balance sheets; rules about hobbies and/or businesses; business and other licenses; accounting terms used by sole proprietors and their proper order; the difference between cash basis and accrual basis; how often you need to track assets, liabilities, and equity; what the well-organized record box contains; the length of time such records are generally required; and, various methods for keeping records.
