Danielle Hayden - Finance&Accounting for Photographers - a podcast by Matt Payne

Welcome to episode 223 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast!

This week on the podcast I was joined by Danielle Hayden, who owns Kickstart Accounting. While Danielle is not a photographer, she's an expert in helping entrepreneurs think about and attain their financial goals. As photographers, many of us are independent creators and therefore entrepreneurs, but some of us are hobbyists who just want to take pretty photographs or express ourselves artistically. No matter which camp you find yourself in, you will find some value from listening to this episode as it will help you think strategically about your business or hobby.

Danielle and I discuss many financially related topics this week that will help you with your photography, including:

• Budgeting.


• Tax write-offs for photographers.


• Money fears and entrepreneurship.


• Transitioning from part-time to full-time as a photographer.


• Looking at our numbers to help us financially.


• And a lot more.

Other items mentioned on the show:

1. Alaska Workshops with Gary Randall.
