What creative people are saying about working with sunlight tax and Money Bootcamp

DANIELLE RANTE, ARTIST + PROFESSOR

"Hannah's bookkeeping spreadsheet! I am obsessed in the best way. I know exactly where I am at and not hiding my from finances anymore. I feel in control”

TYLER YVETTE-WILSON, ARTIST + PROFESSOR

"It motivated me to create a standard invoice to send buyers. It was on my to-do list for over a year. I never prioritized it until diving deeper into the financial part of my practice."

LIZ LAMANCHE, ARTIST

"Hannah's calm, approachable teaching and easy system got me to finally take control of my record keeping! I learned things that 20 years of older male tax accountants had not taught me, though they also 'specialized in artists'. I now feel far more empowered and in control!"

AUTUMN ALLEN, WRITER + CHILDREN’S LITERATURE SPECIALIST.

"I opened several IRA's, I'm paying more attention to my finances and feeling more confident. I actually think about retirement which I never did before."

CHANEL THERVIL, ARTIST + EDUCATOR

"Taking Money Bootcamp allowed me to shift my mindset around how I needed to be thinking in order to get myself to a point of being an entrepreneur or just pursue my creative career full out and full time."

JENNIFER DAVEY, PAINTER

"I can't say enough about Money Bootcamp and Hannah. It has been SO impactful to hear someone talk about money and the arts in a real way and cut through the dysfunctional bs of the art world beliefs about money....

CHALICE MITCHELL, TEACHING ARTIST

"In Undergrad for Fine Arts and in Grad School for Fine Arts I had never learned even half of the stuff in Money Bootcamp...As a working artist I had to know how to do this."

ERIN FLETCHER, BOOKBINDER + INSTRUCTOR

"Bootcamp has been reaffirming for how I have approached bookkeeping in the past. Hannah's worksheet has been a great improvement on my previous system. I think that I am more organized and spending less time on bookkeeping, which has given me more time to be creative."

ROB LOEBELL, ARTIST + ART TEACHER

"I've gotten very interested in creating a business which started with Bootcamp....I'm still putting the pieces together, but Bootcamp had a big initial part in my thinking I could do this. "

JESS SPARKS-MUSSULIN, JEWELRY MAKER & VIRTUAL ASSISTANT

"I understand my money enough that I was able to officially pay myself for the first time since my buisness started in 2015. I understand how to save for my taxes; I understand how to pay my quarterly taxes....It went from being this big scary monster under the bed to here's my to do list that I do weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly."

MONICA MILLER, ARTIST + CULTURAL PRODUCER

"I've had more confidence to talk about and create facets of my business...I felt I had the power to launch my business once I started Money Bootcamp."

"I know this program will pay itself back to me. This feels invaluable to me with what I've learned."

REBECCA PEREA-KANE, DESIGNER

"Because of Bootcamp, I have been actively able to calculate the amount I'm likely to owe in estimated taxes for 2021 - rather than relying on my 2020 numbers."

"I feel more holistically empowered around taxes and my business's finances."

GRANT CONVERSANO, FILMMAKER

"Building for sustainability is an important transition I’m making. Your course on long term investment strategies was helpful in thinking in decades, not just in moments. "

LEX RITCHIE, TAROT READER

"I’m in this position where I know enough to ask the right questions, I don’t have to just go along with it. I know enough to advocate for myself - it provides me with knowledge and not just garbled nonsense."

RONA CHANG, Clothing DESIGNER + PHOTOGRAPHER

"The idea of having more understanding and not having money be this mysterious topic was really helpful."

ELODY GYEKIS, PAINTER

"The biggest thing now is that I use bookkeeping software so my books are never more than a week out of date which is just so magical and I feel so proud of myself.”

VICTOR ALVAREZ, PHOTOGRAPHER

"I wanted to start my career off (having only just finished college and jumping into working as an artist) with the right knowledge and systems in place."

MAI LÊ HÔ, DANCER

“I find Hannah to be very efficient and good at what she does. She's really fluent with the work. The information is clear, well explained and easy to grasp.”

BECKY JANE ROSEN, PAINTER

“I feel calmer now…taking action feels great. Having the financial know-how is a huge step in taking my career seriously. I feel more confident. It’s given me organization and structure so that I’m able to move forward with the business part of my practice as well as the art making time.”

ANNE FERNWEH, FIBER ARTIST/WITCH

“I feel much more at ease approaching my bookkeeping and taxes, knowing that I'm on the right track and can self-sustain with only minor course adjustments.”

KAT HALL, PINTEREST EXPERT

“I’m no longer scared of the IRS since I'm in my first year of my business. I know I still have to pay my taxes, but the way Hannah describes the IRS makes it less intimidating.”

SARINA MITCHEL, PAINTER

“A few years ago I had made a commitment to taking my career as an artist seriously. (So sick of dead-end jobs!) Having the financial know-how in addition to the artistic ability is a huge step in taking my career seriously, and being able to sell more paintings confidently."

LANI ASUNCION, MULTI-MEDIA ARTIST

“The No Fear Taxes spreadsheet training is so helpful and I've been wanting to know how to structure all this for so many years. It has been hard to find a tax professional who understands what artists do and how to properly file and track their finances. Thank you so much Hannah!”

CARA BEAN, CARTOONIST

“I was making a big shift from full-time educator to cartoonist and Bootcamp helped me prepare for how to track my business and do my taxes. It has been great for me. I feel less afraid of my taxes and being a freelance creative with your guidance.”

DANA JONES, PAINTER/PHOTOGRAPHER

"One thing I'm always struck by is that Hannah's presentations do take away the mystery and fear (as well as much of the drudgery) of dealing with the nuts and bolts of bookkeeping and taxes.”

SHANNON KILEY “OLIVE TIGER,” MUSICIAN

“I was looking at my Quickbooks...things are logged & I feel more on top of it now. That was the moment I was like, 'wow, this was 100% worth it.”

ERMINIA STRAMANDINOLI, HEALER

“Now it’s just not as stressful for me. I’ve got a good system in place. Thanks to Hannah, all my documents are organized from day one. I no longer have to scramble around at the end of the year to pull everything together. I am no longer STRESSED about any of it. It's like a huge weight off my shoulders.”

 
 

Alex Mancini, photographer & multidisciplinary artist

Each little thing I learn as I go stacks on top of each other so that at the end of it, I do a double take of myself and realize I know a lot more than I used to and feel more comfortable with handling my bookkeeping and taxes.

Emma Marty, designer/jeweler

I walked away from this tax season with a better understanding of my business because Hannah made the process a learning experience. She guided me through the steps of filing and made sure that I understood every aspect of what we were doing. She took the time to speak to me over the phone to go over areas that I didn’t understand and introduced new practices to insure more success for my growing business.

 
“Once I finally decided to figure out my money and taxes, I couldn’t believe how much more time I had for my art.”

Ryan Roi, Founder of Dukkha Tattoo Studio
Quickbooks SE didn’t feel very transparent and it would recategorize items sometimes making more work for me later. I feel more confident that everything is organized better and more efficiently through the spreadsheet that Hannah shared...

Joana Stillwell, multi-media artist
 
I am feeling calmer now that things are in process. Actually taking action can be scary. and it can feel easier to not take action, but having taken the action feels GREAT!!!”

Becky Jane Rosen
 
I knew that Bootcamp itself would be valuable in that it would give me access to all kinds of topics I probably hadn’t even realized I needed.”

Alex Mancini
