March 7th, 11-2pm @ DROM Taberna (458 Queen St. W.)

Presented in partnership with Kune Music, this in-person skills clinic is a practical, beginner-friendly session on bookkeeping basics and tax prep for musicians, so you can feel more confident about tracking income/expenses, staying organized through the year, and preparing for tax season.

-Simple bookkeeping setup (what to track + how to track it)
-Income streams and expense categories common to musicians
-Receipts, invoices, and organizing your records
-Tax-season prep (what to gather, what to expect)
