DIY GnuCash Bookkeeping
For Etsy Sellers
Starting and running a Etsy business is a business in itself and it can be overwhelming. You’re busy trying to perfect your craft or trade, and keep your customers happy and returning. Small Business Bookkeeping can take valuable time away from your business. And unless you’re experienced in accounting principles, bookkeeping can be a challenging task. We take the headache out of bookkeeping, by providing a easy to use work flow…
We aim to empower Etsy sellers to master their bookkeeping with GnuCash quickly and easily!
Etsy sellers often have “confusing” data because merchants like Etsy don’t just send “income”—they send a mess of gross amounts, processing fees, and refunds. Good bookkeeping allows businesses to understand their profit margins, know how much money is in the bank, and confidently file their taxes.
