Many arts professionals struggle with transitioning into a new work culture - especially if they are juggling multiple projects and contracts on the side - and no one actually tells you what to do with that paystub.

We'll cover: 

  • Understanding income tax, payroll deductions, benefits, and tax planning
  • Simple strategies for managing earnings, spending, and saving, and juggling contract work, changing schedules and cash payments/tips
  • Approaches to earning your promotion and moving towards your next job
