“Whoever is listening, I'm talking directly to you. Separate your business and personal finances. So get a business bank account. That is going to make just the organization of everything so much simpler, it's gonna make tax time easier for you, it's going to make just knowing your numbers and knowing if you're profitable, easier for you.” - Brittney Suttle

Key Quotes
“These [add-ons] are the expenses that you may be paying for personally, but are also business related, because you do use them at least partially for your business. So because they're not necessarily run through and paid via your business, you just don't think about including them as a deduction. And these are things like your cell phone and internet.” - Brittney Suttle
“It's still helpful to have people in your corner that are certified, can answer the questions correctly that you have, and are there to support you in the way that your business is set up and the way that you are wanting to grow your business.” - Liz Boer
