You’ll walk away with:
A clean, easy-to-read Profit & Loss statement built using a photographer-specific chart of accounts

How It Works
This is a live, guided working bootcamp — not a passive course you watch and hope to finish later.
You’ll receive one master template — and each day we’ll work through specific tabs to build a complete, tax-ready file.
Each session includes:
A short teaching block so you understand what we’re doing and why
Guided work time inside the template, focused on that day’s tabs
Live support and Q&A while you’re actively working
Sessions run 2 hours per day, giving you enough time to make real progress without burning out. You don’t need to prep or pre-organize anything ahead of time — just show up with access to your data and follow the process.
Let’s be honest — taxes were never the goal.
The Tax-Ready Bootcamp exists so you can get financially organized and walk into tax season confident and prepared — all in 5 focused days of guided support.
Hi, I'm Tiffany
I help photographers get financially organized so taxes stop feeling confusing, overwhelming, or like something you’re constantly behind on
I’m an IRS Enrolled Agent with an MBA in Accounting who works exclusively with photographers. Not real estate agents. Not restaurants. Not random small businesses. Just photographers — all day, every day.
I know how your income flows, where things tend to get messy, and what actually matters when it’s time to file.
After hundreds of conversations that all sounded some version of, “I make money, I spend money, but I don’t really know if my numbers are right,” I realized the problem wasn’t effort — it was the lack of a clear, supportive process.
So I built the Tax-Ready Bootcamp to give photographers a straightforward way to get organized, understand their numbers, and walk into tax season with confidence instead of panic.
Sound Familiar?
“I make money… but I don’t actually know what my real profit is.”
You’re busy shooting, editing, and delivering, but when tax season rolls around, you’re not sure what the numbers really say — or if you can trust them.
“I think I’m deducting things correctly… but I’m not totally confident.”
You’ve heard different things from different places, and now you’re left second-guessing what actually counts as a legitimate business expense.
“My income comes in from everywhere — and my expenses are all over the place.”
Between multiple platforms, bank accounts, cards, and apps, it feels impossible to know if you’ve captured everything correctly.
“What if my books aren’t even usable for taxes?”
That quiet panic when you realize you might be handing your accountant incomplete or messy information — and hoping for the best.
“I just want to know I’m doing this right.”
you are ready to be organized, accurate, and ready for taxes — without the constant mental weight.
If you nodded your head to ANY of these, you're ready for the Tax-Ready Bootcamp.
I've worked with thousands of photographers, from brand new side-hustlers to veteran studio owners, and these questions come up again and again.
The difference?
Some photographers keep guessing and hoping for the best (yikes!), while others join the bootcamp to get crystal-clear answers and protect the business they've worked so hard to build.
Which photographer do you want to be?
Commit to 5 days and walk away with clean, organized numbers you can trust — ready for taxes, ready for handoff, and without the stress!
Your Photography Deserves Your Full Attention
I built this bootcamp to take taxes off your mental load once and for all,
so you can spend less time Googling and more time doing what you LOVE.
Your creativity is too valuable to waste on tax stress. Let’s handle this — and move on.
This small investment could save you thousands in penalties, hours of wasted research, and the constant stress of wondering if you’re doing this right. Put that time and money back where it belongs — into growing your business and creating work you’re proud of.
I'm Not Your Parents' Accountant
Hi! I'm Tiffany Bastian—an IRS-certified Enrolled Agent with an MBA in accounting who exclusively serves photographers. Not photographers and other small businesses. Not photographers and some real estate agents. Just photographers.
Why Photography-Only?
Because I believe the best financial advice comes from someone who truly understands your industry inside and out. After 20+ years in accounting, I've developed a specialized expertise in the unique financial world photographers live in:
📸 I Understand Your Business Reality:
That expensive camera is both a business tool and something you'd buy anyway (let's navigate that tax line)
Your pricing isn't just about hours—it's about creativity, expertise, and image rights
Your income might be booming in May-October and crickets in January
Your business exists in a complicated web of state-to-state sales tax requirements
🗣️ I Speak Human, Not Accountant
You won't hear me saying things like "please reference section 179 of the tax code regarding depreciation schedules." I promise to never make you feel dumb for asking questions about your finances.
🤝 I'm On Your Team
My mission isn't just to keep you compliant—it's to help you build a legitimate, profitable photography business that supports the life you want. I'm the financial partner in your corner who gets what you're trying to build.
When photographers ask me for recommendations, I don't just point them to generic resources—I create exactly what they need. That's why this sales tax guide exists: because hundreds of talented photographers like you were struggling with the same problem, and deserved a better solution.

5 Days to Solve Your Tax Confusion Today
Everything you need to get organized for taxes right, without the overwhelm.
Hey there, Photographer!
I can’t wait for you to feel what it’s like on the other side of this. The calm that comes from knowing your numbers are organized. The relief of not guessing what you made, what you spent, or what tax season is about to bring. When your books are tax-ready and your Profit & Loss actually makes sense, something really good happens — your brain finally gets some breathing room.
You stop second-guessing every transaction.
You stop wondering if you missed something important.
And you stop carrying this around in the back of your mind like unfinished business.
I created Tax Ready Bootcamp because I’ve watched far too many incredibly talented photographers get stuck in financial limbo — not because they weren’t trying, but because no one ever showed them a clear, doable way to pull it all together. You deserve structure without overwhelm, guidance without judgment, and a process that respects the business you’ve worked your ass off to build.
When you join, you’re not just signing up for information — you’re committing to finishing. You’re joining photographers who are done with chaos and ready for clarity. And yes, I’ll absolutely do a ridiculous happy dance when I see your name come through, because I know exactly what’s waiting for you on the other side of this bootcamp.
This bootcamp is my way of walking alongside you while you get organized — not handing you a checklist and wishing you luck. Just real support, real progress, and real confidence in your numbers.
I’m genuinely honored to be part of your photography journey and trusted with this piece of your business.
With you every step of the way — ❤️
