Photographers & creatives

You notice the light. We notice the fees.

Retainers recorded honestly, every processor tied out, gear tracked right. Books with the same eye you bring to a frame. Based in Hugo, MN, working with creatives anywhere.

The photographer mess, specifically

If you shoot for a living, you know these problems.

A March retainer for an October wedding makes spring look rich and fall look like you worked for free.

Square, PayPal, Stripe, gallery sales, print labs. Five doors, five fee structures, nothing matches the bank.

A new lens is an investment. It should not be buried in the same pile as batteries and gaff tape.

Busy fall, quiet February, and quarterly taxes due either way, on a number that is a guess.

Behind since wedding season swallowed you? Very normal, very fixable. We have done it.

What we do

Every door tied out. Every month honest.

Retainers recorded right.

Deposits land as income when you deliver, not when they hit the bank. Your booking months and your shooting months both read true, and you know what is actually safe to spend.

Every processor tied out.

Square, Stripe, PayPal, galleries and print labs, each matched to the bank monthly with fees made visible. You finally see what your minis and galleries really net you.

The whole back office.

Second-shooter and editor 1099s handled, big gear recorded right for your CPA, sales tax tracked if you collect it, and a real number for quarterly taxes. Most solo photographers start at $350 a month, and the real numbers are published.
