Revving Up for Fall: Financial Check-Up for Creatives

Hey #KaecoleKommunity, it’s been a minute! As the year winds down and we get ready to close out 2024, now’s the perfect time to take a step back, reflect on your creative journey, and refocus your financial goals. Whether you’ve been thriving or life threw you some unexpected plot twists, there’s still time to realign and finish strong.

In this blog post, we’re exploring key steps to refresh your financial strategy and how Kaecole Financial can help you crush your goals before the year wraps up.

1. Revisit Your 2024 Goals: Are You Still in the Game?

Remember those big dreams and money moves you set at the start of the year? Whether it was saving for that next project, paying down debts, or investing in your craft, now’s the time to evaluate your progress. Behind on goals? No stress—it’s never too late to pivot.

Tips:

  • Review your budget and track your wins and misses.
  • Adjust your goals if needed. Life happens, and it’s okay to shift gears.

2. Prep for Year-End Tax Planning

Tax season is creeping up, and for creatives, it’s crucial to stay on top of deductions and expenses tied to your artistry or business.

Action Items:

  • Organize your receipts, invoices, and expenses—think supplies, studio rent, travel, and more.
  • Book a session with us to strategize and maximize your deductions before December.

3. Plan for the Holiday Hustle

The end-of-year rush is real—commissions, gigs, and deadlines pile up fast. Let’s make sure you’re set to thrive without feeling burnt out.

Kaecole Tip:

  • Schedule routine checks for your equipment or workspace now to avoid costly last-minute repairs.
  • Create a mini financial plan for extra holiday income—put that cash to work for future projects.

4. Refresh Your Emergency Fund

Creativity comes with surprises, both inspiring and unexpected. If your emergency fund has taken a hit, let’s build it back up.

Pro Tip:

  • Funnel a portion of your holiday earnings into your safety net to start 2025 with peace of mind.

5. Prioritize Self-Care: It’s Not All About Numbers

Your creativity flourishes when you’re mentally, physically, and financially balanced. Don’t forget to prioritize YOU as we close out the year.

Suggestions:

  • Take a break: Even a short creative retreat can reignite your spark.
  • Lean on us: Kaecole Financial isn’t just about numbers—we’re here to help you balance life and your art.

The Final Stretch: Let’s Cross the Finish Line Together

As we close out 2024, now’s the time to reflect, refocus, and recharge. Whether you’re setting up for tax season, adjusting financial goals, or gearing up for a creative burst, Kaecole Financial has your back. Let’s finish this year on a high note and start 2025 stronger than ever!
