BookSmart Studio
Who Are We?
BookSmart Studio is a boutique bookkeeping and administrative service dedicated to supporting creative professionals, freelancers, and design driven entrepreneurs—designers, artists, writers, builders and makers—by taking the stress out of managing their money. We specialize in turning messy paperwork, late invoices, and financial guesswork into clear, confident financials that empower creatives to focus on their craft.
Our mission is to help creatives and freelancers feel confident and in control of their finances through personalized, approachable, and accurate bookkeeping.
What We Do?
Most creatives and freelancers are self-taught business owners. They’re passionate about what they do—but often feel overwhelmed by paperwork, taxes, and financial planning. They may avoid it altogether or spend too much time DIY-ing it ineffectively.
We offer tailored, done-for-you bookkeeping and administrative services that are designed specifically for the unique workflows of creatives. From handling your mail, to project-based invoicing, to tracking income and managing quarterly taxes, we create calm out of chaos—with tools, insights, and systems you will enjoy looking at!
How Can We Help?
At BookSmart Studio, we specialize in bookkeeping services designed specifically for the unique needs of creatives and freelancers. We also offer administrative services to support the ultimate goal of keeping your finances in check. We know that keeping your books and finances clean, goes hand-in-hand with being on top of back office duties - handling mail, invoicing, keeping receipts, and more. We are here for all of that! Whether you’re just starting out or scaling your creative business, our goal is to simplify your finances so you can focus on your craft.
