A W-2 job and a freelance income stream don't behave the same way come tax season.
One's already been taxed. The other is waiting on you.
Know which is which before April decides for you.

Nobody taught us this in school.
When income shows up untaxed — a fee, a royalty, a 1099 — the rule of thumb is simple:
set aside 25 to 30 percent before you touch the rest.
Florida creative? Closer to 25. New York City? Closer to 30.

Today we're celebrating the woman who built this whole thing from a belief her mother planted decades ago: that there is a story behind every number.

Happy birthday to our founder, Aquaila Barnes.

Twenty years in this industry, fourteen of them leading Barnes Financial Concierge, and still just as invested in making sure her clients understand their own story as she was on day one.

Here's to another year of good numbers and better stories. 🥂

The direct deposit lands on a Tuesday.
Before you move a dollar of it, ask yourself one question: how much of this is actually
mine to keep?
Not to kill the good feeling. Just to protect it.

You waited weeks for that direct deposit, and it finally hit. 💸

The credit cards, the group trip, that wardrobe refresh—it's all callling your name. 💳✈🛍

But wait… how much is actually yours to keep?

A massive mistake 1099 earners make is spending before setting aside taxes. 😬

Avoid April panic with the "Tuesday Rule."

There is a story in your numbers.

Behind every gig, every grant, every sold-out show and every quiet season, your
finances have been trying to tell you something. This workshop is about learning
to read it.

If you're in Winston-Salem for IBTF, join me on Thursday, July 30 (11:15am–
1:15pm, Ardmore 2, Benton Convention Center) for The Story Behind the
Numbers: An Artist's Approach to Financial Wins.

This isn't about learning to become an accountant. It's about becoming the author
of your own financial narrative — real strategies, real talk, built for working
creatives.

Come as you are. Leave knowing more than you walked in with.
