The Problem

Why Creative Business Books Are Always a Mess

Between gear, subscriptions, second shooters, and destination shoots, your finances don't fit neatly into a spreadsheet. And every year that costs you.

๐Ÿ“ท

Gear Is Personal AND Business

Your camera shoots family photos and client shoots. Your lens is in both categories. Most photographers guess on this and guess wrong.

๐Ÿ’ป

Adobe, Capture One, and 20 Other Subscriptions

Lightroom, Premiere, Frame.io, Dropbox, Pixieset, Google Drive, Backup Plus. They all auto-charge monthly and pile up uncategorized.

โœˆ๏ธ

Destination Shoots Mix with Vacations

You shot a wedding in Italy. Was it all business? Part vacation? The IRS has rules on this and most photographers don't know them.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ

Second Shooters Need 1099s

Paying a second shooter over $600? You're required to file 1099-NEC. Most photographers never do and face penalties at tax time.

๐ŸŒŠ

Income Is Seasonal and Lumpy

Spring and fall are packed, December is dead. Quarterly tax estimates are nearly impossible without clean month-by-month books.

๐ŸŽฌ

Video Production Costs Are Complex

Equipment rental, color grading, music licensing, animation -- video production has dozens of expense categories that get smashed into "Miscellaneous."

Four steps to clean books, zero guesswork.

1

Connect QuickBooks

One-click OAuth setup. Takes 60 seconds. We import your existing transactions -- this year and past years -- automatically.

2

Upload Your Statements

Drop in your bank and credit card statements as PDF or CSV from any bank. Business accounts, personal cards used for shoots, all of it.

3

LedgerAI Categorizes Everything

Gear, software subscriptions, second shooter payments, travel, print lab orders, studio rental -- categorized correctly on the first pass.

4

๐Ÿ“ธ

Gear and Equipment Tracking

Camera bodies, lenses, lighting, and accessories from B&H Photo, Adorama, Amazon, and local rental houses -- categorized automatically.

๐Ÿšฉ

Personal Charge Detection

Flags personal Amazon orders, Netflix, Whole Foods, and personal travel that sneak into business accounts. Never get surprised at audit time.

๐Ÿงพ

Second Shooter Payment Tracking

Auto-tags contractor payments for 1099-NEC filing. Every payment over $600 is tracked, labeled, and ready for your CPA.

๐Ÿ’ฟ

Software Subscription Categorization

Adobe Creative Cloud, Capture One, Pixieset, Frame.io, Dropbox -- all recognized and auto-tagged as software expenses every month.

๐Ÿ“ฆ

Print Lab and COGS Tracking

WHCC, Miller's Lab, Bay Photo, and other print lab orders categorized as Cost of Goods Sold automatically. Your gross margin is always clean.

"I was paying a bookkeeper $350 a month and she still got half my categories wrong. LedgerAI does it automatically and hasn't made a single error on my Adobe or B&H charges."

"The second shooter 1099 tracking alone saved me. I had no idea I was supposed to file for my shooters. LedgerAI flagged every payment and my CPA handled the rest."
