HELLO!

I'm Jen!

Entertainer, Business Strategist & Online Educator


 

I'm a multi-passionate entrepreneur who is a big nerd for building businesses... and having fun while doing it!

 

I spent over a decade as a professional entertainer, working on stages across the world, before turning my focus towards arts administration & management.

 

In 2019, I launched the first "Smart Taxes" book (the only one of its kind in Canada), helping creative professionals navigate the business side of a career in the arts.

 

Talking about taxes can be overwhelming and scary for many musicians, so I broke it all down in "real people" language, with real-life examples and useful tools like worksheets, my fave apps, and an exclusive online resource page. 

 

This is the training I *WISH* I'd had in performing arts college!

 

These days, I'd rather spend LESS time worrying about money and more time building a career I love- who's with me?!


What You'll Learn:

  • Income- ways to track it and how to report it

  • Expenses- what is a business expense for an musician, and how do you claim it?

  • GST/HST - do you need to charge it and how do your report it? (And the little known tip that can save you $$)

  • Specialty Tools to sort, track & store your business receipts

  • Save on Taxes by taking advantage of lesser-known tax deductions

  • Canadian-Specific information and most recent tax updates

  • Customized Spreadsheet Templates & useful online tools + apps


The "Smart Taxes" series is the ultimate resource to navigating self-employment taxes as a creative professional.

 

Newly updated, these guides break down complex tax & finance topics so you can immediately apply them to your career.

 

Oh- and did we mention they're 100% CANADIAN? So you know you're getting information that's actually useful to YOU!
