If you’re self-employed, you understand the effort of untangling co-mingled business and personal expenses and staying on top of record keeping. The average self-employed worker has more than 1,000 financial transactions per year, yet only one-third actually claim business-related expenses, according to Intuit research. That means you could be leaving money on the table! “The most surprising and challenging part of being #SelfMade is the amount of organizational skills that it takes to stay on top of paperwork,” said SherriAnn Cole, self-employed makeup and hair stylist (pictured above).
