Financial Planning For Artists

Tuesday October 25th 5-6:30pm - Free and online!

As part of a new series on Financial Literacy and Learning, Akin invites artists and the public to join us for the 2nd of 3 workshops happening this fall, hosted in collaboration with a team of facilitators from our partners at Wealthsimple. This month's session will be focussing on Financial Planning For Artists.

Along with a discussion around the following topics (below), we're inviting artists to submit their questions around Financial planning and strategies to erin@akincollective.com. Your questions will support the presentation and may be used during the Q&A period following. In preparation, the upcoming workshop will look at such topics as:

Understanding sole-proprietorship vs. incorporation
Taxes & accounting as a small business owner
Financial goal setting as a business owner &
How much to save for retirement

Send your questions or ideas for the Q&A to erin@akincollective.com and let us know what else you'd like to see!

Prioritizing and making Financial Literacy learning and resources available and accessible to creative entrepreneurs is one of the ways that Akin can support Artists in their work towards economic independence and stability. From breaking down language and providing clear steps required for understanding one's personal finances, to templates and resources that can be useful tools, Akin and community partner Wealthsimple are pleased to present a 3-month workshop series on Financial Literacy for artists, from September through November.

There will be an ASL interpreter at the event. For more details please register through the link in the @akinprojects bio and feel free to contact erin@akincollective.com for questions or concerns in advance.
