Background
Listen… The numbers are important! Other things are important too, but the numbers are something you actually want to track. This includes whether you’re a solopreneur, a gig worker, or running a side hustle. You really do need to have bookkeeping records, even if they’re very basic. What you don’t need is a $75 per month QuickBooks subscription that gives you access to profit and loss statements if you’re a dog walker—despite what your accountant might tell you 🙄…
