FAQs

I created these bookkeeping templates for any freelancer or self-employed business owner. The categories are set up with self-employed musicians in mind, but they are fully customizable and can easily be tailored to you and your music career or business. I included some example content that references different types of self-employed/freelance music work to give you some ideas for how to customize them.
