Now here come the questions!

What exactly are my tax and financial responsibilities?
Is it true that I don’t need to worry about reporting this stuff until I make $600?

who the heck am i?

Hi there, I’m Janet LeBlanc, CPA & founder of Paper + Spark. I’m also a real life maker and Etsy shop owner, so I am intimately acquainted with the challenges of understanding your financial responsibilities as an e-commerce seller.

Since I started selling jewelry online way back in 2011, my own entrepreneurial journey has connected me with hundreds of other creatives. I frequently got questions about bookkeeping, taxes, and finances. The struggle is real when it comes to finding accurate, reliable, and UNDERSTANDABLE resources on these topics…let alone ones crafted with makers in mind!

That’s exactly why I took my accounting expertise and started sharing my knowledge about small biz taxes and finances with other shop owners. I founded Paper + Spark to be your go-to-resource for financial clarity in 2014. Confusion about money should NEVER be something that holds your business back!

ready? help is here! time to get answers. clarity. confident. legit.
