You just signed your first client and are ready to cash in that check! But wait! Have you covered all your expenses as an agency owner or freelancer?



In this episode of The Design Imposter Podcast, Jessica Valis and Monique Jenkins break down some of the basic and unexpected costs associated with being your own boss. From simple $10/m subscriptions to several thousand dollar a year services, create a running list of your business expenses. Doing so will help you determine how much to charge your clients so you don’t go belly up.



These monthly services go beyond Adobe Creative Suite, including business insurance, lawyer fees, accounting and bookkeeping, marketing tools, and paying employees and contractors. And don’t forget those emergency situations that are beyond your capability and require 3rd party assistance.



Grab a pen and paper (or Excel) as we guide you through programs we use and help you keep track of where the money is going.
