“I believe in the importance of your work, and I feel that you should be honored, not demeaned, when you want to run your taxes. That is why I started this tax education company.”

Crafting a Business — On Thursday, March 26, 2026 we held a conversation with Hannah Cole of Sunlight Tax, packed full of useful, real-world tax guidance for creatives, craftspeople, and artists looking to start or run a small business.

Hannah Cole is a tax expert specializing in creative professionals and their businesses. As the creator and host of the Sunlight Tax podcast, she brings creative-world savvy to topics like taxes, money, and career growth.

  • This is her Substack newsletter, where you can get Sunlight Tax podcast archives, tax help guides, and options to join money co-working and monthly workshops.
  • And her book, Taxes for Humans: Simplify Your Taxes and Change the World When You’re Self-Employed is available where books are sold, or at this link with extra bonuses.
