Know where every dollar goes — and keep the receipts that save you taxes.

What you walk away with

  • Expense categories built for musicians
  • Tracking template (spreadsheet-ready)
  • Weekly 15-minute money routine

What the agent asks you

  • What you spend on now (studio, gear, travel, promo, software)
  • Current tools (app, spreadsheet, nothing)
  • How you get paid

How it runs

  1. 1Build your category list
  2. 2Set up the tracker
  3. 3Create the weekly routine

Guardrails

  • General information, not tax advice — confirm with a CPA or tax professional.
  • Never invents facts about you — it asks.
  • Never collects or stores your SSN.
