👋 Hi! I'm Janet LeBlanc

I’m a Louisiana girl now living in South Carolina, a Certified Public Accountant, a serial-entrepreneur, and a mom of two. My passion is helping other creative women bring their entrepreneurial dreams to life with confidence. As an accountant and data nerd, I love creating tools + resources to help you achieve financial success in your biz and personal life.

Why should you listen to anything I have to say? Because I’ve been in your shoes! I started a handcrafted jewelry shop on Etsy back in 2011 as a side hustle from my accounting job. During my time in the handmade community, I heard a lot of the same frustrations and questions over and over. Concerns like, when am I supposed to register my shop? Do I have to charge sales tax to my customers? When do I claim this on my tax return? What sort of bookkeeping system am I supposed to use?!

In 2014, I finally united my love of handmade and accounting and founded Paper + Spark. In 2015, the first iteration of the Etsy Seller Spreadsheet debuted. This product completely changed the course of my entrepreneurial journey. Creating spreadsheets isn’t the sexiest or most glamorous product to design (although I like to think they’re pretty, for spreadsheets), but getting the chance to help creatives feel more confident about their money has been SO fulfilling and I am grateful to serve you today!

I use Shopify and am happy with them. the options can be overwhelming. I like their support of POS, great for craft shows, which is s
where I make the most.

I joined Shopify for the reason Etsy was more expensive. I am not happy with Shopify. When there is a problem the questions you may have does not get answered. If I had a choice to do this again, I would not go on any online stores. They do not contact me after letting them know i am having a issue.

Since shopify reveals my home address to everyone and I have to apply for and setup all the sales taxes... Etsy is worth the extra fees in my opinion

I just set up my Shopify. I like it for the most part but I'm a little confused on the calculated shipping. Etsy was easy enough. Enter you dimensions and weight and you're good to go, no guess work.
