Know your business, grow your business.
So many business owners are caught in a loop that quietly hurts their finances — when really, cost controls, planning, and a little consistency change everything. You don't have to know what you don't know yet. That's okay. That's what I'm here for: to help you understand your numbers, separate your life money from your business money, and build something you can actually grow on purpose.
Including bakers, candle & soap makers, florists, photographers, painters, jewelry makers, woodworkers, potters, makeup artists, cosmetologists, barbers, nail & lash techs, estheticians, caterers, personal chefs, coffee & beverage producers, event planners, coaches, and dozens more creative trades and service providers.
You don't know what you don't know — and that's okay.
I started The Artist Ledger because I kept seeing the same thing: talented people, caught in a loop that quietly works against their finances, when the way out isn't complicated at all. Cost controls. Planning. A little consistency. Those things help more than people expect.
When you actually know your business — when you can tell your life money from your business money and plan on purpose — growing it stops feeling like guesswork. That's the whole point of my work: to get you there, without the jargon and without making you feel small for not knowing yet.
Start wherever you are.
You don't have to know exactly what you need. Each option below is a different depth — begin with a conversation, and we'll find the right fit together.
Not ready to book? Start by reading my Substack — it's where I share the thinking behind all of this, for free.
Free Discovery Call
A relaxed, no-pressure conversation about where your business is and what's been weighing on you. No pitch — just a chance to see if we're a good fit and point you toward a real next step.
Strategy Intensive Starting at $750
A focused working session on the knot you most need untangled — pricing, cash flow, tax reserves, the structure of the whole operation. You leave with a clear plan and the reasoning behind it, not just a to-do list.
Bookkeeping & Tax Priced to your scope
Your books kept clean and current, with tax handled as part of the same relationship — because the two belong together. Scoped to the size and shape of your business. (Tax prep is available to bookkeeping clients, so the numbers behind your return are ones I already know.)
Done-For-You Services Priced to your scope
I build the pricing and costing your business actually needs — grounded in a real understanding of your market and the clients you serve. You walk away knowing what to charge, why it works, and how it fits the people you're selling to. Scoped to your business.
Costing & Pricing Suites
Not everyone's ready to work one-on-one — and you don't have to. These are the same costing and pricing tools I use, built into self-serve calculators you can run on your own, designed for the way your industry actually works.
- See what it truly costs you to make or deliver — ingredients, labor, overhead, all of it.
- Land on a price that protects your profit instead of guessing.
- Built for your industry, from food and body care to makers, services, and floral.
- Yours to keep and reuse — no subscription, no booking required.
Plain answers, your pace, no pressure.
I built this for people who are brilliant at their craft and have been made to feel small about the money side. That stops here. You'll never be talked down to, and you'll never be sold something you don't need.
Clarity over jargon
I explain things in language that makes sense, so you actually understand your own business — not just nod along.
Built for your industry
From kilns to client work to job sites to growing companies, I've worked across a wide range of creative and service businesses. Your situation isn't a mystery to me.
Sustainable, not frantic
The goal is a business that supports your life — steady, profitable, and calm. No hustle-grind theater.
The things people usually want to know.
If yours isn't here, just ask on a discovery call — no question is too basic.
That's most people when they start — truly. You don't have to clean anything up before we talk, and there's no judgment about where things are. Getting it sorted is the work, not a prerequisite for it.
Not at all. You don't know what you don't know yet, and that's completely okay — it's exactly what I'm here to help with. I'll explain things in plain language so you actually understand your own business, not just nod along.
Both are priced to the scope of your business — its size, its complexity, what you actually need. We figure that out together on a call rather than forcing you into a package that doesn't fit. And tax prep is offered to bookkeeping clients, so the numbers behind your return are ones I already know well.
A wide range — makers, food and beverage, body care and wellness, creative and fine arts, beauty and personal services, trades and contractors, and other service providers. From solo operators to growing companies. If you're not sure you fit, ask.
An Intensive is a focused working session where we untangle a specific knot together and you leave with a plan. Done-For-You is when I build your pricing and costing for you, grounded in your market and the clients you serve. One gives you clarity to act on; the other hands you the finished work.
The free discovery call, every time. It's a relaxed conversation with no pitch — just a chance to talk through where you are and figure out the right next step together. If you'd rather read first, my Substack is a no-cost way to get a feel for how I think.
Not sure where to start? Start with a call.
It's free, it's low-key, and there's no obligation. Just bring your questions.
