Making Money As a Freelance Photographer? Learn How to Handle Taxes With This $30 QuickBooks Training
As with any small business, professional photography involves plenty of administrative work. One of the most challenging areas is accounting and taxes.
If you would like to prepare for the tax season, The Complete 2021 QuickBooks Bootcamp Bundle can help. It includes 31 hours of video tutorials on this popular accounting software — and the bundle is now only $29.99 for SonyAlphaRumors readers.
Geared mainly towards small- and medium-sized businesses, QuickBooks is used by many creative professionals. While the platform is relatively easy to use, you can still get lost if you don’t have a background in accounting.

Through concise video lessons, you’ll discover how to navigate each of the apps and set up your company. The instruction then looks at entering your income, recording expenses, setting up bank feeds, and producing reports.
You’ll also learn to manage customers within QuickBooks, create estimates, add sales tax, and even handle vehicle mileage.
The line-up includes 333 tutorials in total, and you can claim a certificate of completion for each course to document your skills.
