Identify, build and grow.

Good news: you’ve sold a product. Gotten booked for a freelance gig. Been paid for your creative service. Received a positive outcome on a grant application. There’s money on its way to your account!

… Now what?

If you’ve ever been caught off-guard by the kinds of questions that first emerge in the meeting of a creative practice and a financial outcome, this Field Kit is for you. It walks you through the basics of bookkeeping and record keeping, prepping you as a creative practitioner so you can monitor your income, expenses, plan for tax return obligations, keep an eye on regular cash-flowing, and make sure your grant reports are accurate well before you’re verging on a receipt-driving, inbox-searching breakdown.

Getting started on a new project can be a rush - the instinct to jump right into the deep end and get your hands dirty immediately is hard to resist when a new idea strikes.

At the same time, doing so can mean you’re skipping out on a crucial part of setting that project up for longevity (and, let’s be honest, completion - looking at you, half-written pieces in the corner).

While that initial rush is certainly a good feeling, the sense of ‘where TF do I go with this next’ is not.

This checklist is designed to make sure you’re prepared before you kick off, you know where you’re heading, and you’ve given yourself the benefit of the tools you need to make it through.

Hitting resistance is just about guaranteed at some point in your work. This tool can give you the edge you need to stay ahead of it.
