Whether you’ve set yourself up as an independent contractor or an LLC, you’ll need to track your financial progress throughout the year. If you can’t afford to hire a bookkeeper, a well-designed spreadsheet is a great budgeting tool. Quicken and QuickBooks can help you stay organized as well; PayPal can help you receive income quickly and safely. Regardless of how savvy you are, if you stay organized tax time and budgeting will be painless.
