Chapter two
At home no suitcase required
4 The morning check
Open the app. There's the month.
What came in, what went out, and what you're on pace to keep. The dashboard does the math so you don't open a spreadsheet.
5 Your chair
Walk-ins, regulars, booth rent. Same five seconds.
Plenty of artists never tour and run their whole business here. Set your rate, start the timer, and it does the math for you.

6 The split
Know what the shop owes you before they hand you the cash.
Set your shop split once and every payment you log does the math as you go. When the pay period ends you'll see what you're owed. Punch in what they actually paid, snap a photo of the slip, and if the numbers don't match you'll know by how much. Same deal on a guest spot: settle up before you leave town.
worth a conversation
your tally, not theirs
7 Your people
Every client you've tattooed, one book.
Names, pieces, photos, and how long it's been. Filed by city, so when a trip comes together you already know who's waiting there.

8 The books
Receipts read themselves. Miles count themselves.
Snap the receipt and it reads itself: amount, vendor, date, filed as an expense. Drive to a guest spot and the mileage tracker logs every deductible mile at the standard rate.
no shoebox
9 Tax time
Get back every dollar you're owed.
When the year closes, export every expense, every mile, and every write-off in one clean file. Your accountant gets a spreadsheet, not a shoebox.

10 The bigger picture
Run your business on facts, not a feeling.
Every payment and receipt you log turns into something you can use. Which way you're trending, how people actually pay you, where your money goes, and which weeks were slow. Decisions instead of guesses.
no more guessing
every dollar you logged, turned into something useful
