I have had to learn a lot about accounting and quicbooks in a short period of time. I am slowly getting the hang of it and it is good to learn how these things work. I still have to get a grasp on depreciation but I am hoping the CPA I will have to hire can help me with that part.
I am also finding that I am a lot more tax and cost conscious these days since I have a business to run. I want it to be able to feed and shelter me so I have to make good descisions on a consistent basis. This is no easy task by any means.
The accounting in the beginning is a lot of work but will get easier once all the intial costs and work are taken care of. It will then just be deposits, invoices, inventory, taxes, and profit/loss calculations. I am glad I had those accounting courses back in college now!
