The Specific Challenges We Solve
Self-Employment Tax Planning
Etsy income is self-employment income — meaning SE tax of 15.3% applies on top of ordinary income tax. Most sellers are blindsided by this at year-end. We set up quarterly estimated payments based on your actual YTD earnings so there are no April surprises.
COGS for Handmade Products
Tracking material costs for handmade goods requires a cost structure built around your production process — materials, supplies, and packaging per product category. We build a COGS system that reflects your actual product economics rather than a rough estimate.
Etsy Fee Reconciliation
Listing fees, transaction fees, payment processing fees, and Etsy Ads costs reduce your net revenue in ways that often aren't visible in a basic bookkeeping setup. We track every fee so your actual net margin is always clear.
A Bookkeeper Who's Also a Federally authorized Enrolled Agent
Most bookkeepers categorize transactions and hand you a report. Simple Books Now does that — and our Licensed EA can also represent you before the IRS, file your business and personal tax returns, and advise on tax strategy year-round. One firm. No referrals. No gaps.
