You didn’t start your studio to become a tax law expert—you started it to bring creativity, community, and maybe a little chaos (the fun kind) into people’s lives. But what if I told you that President Trump’s “one big beautiful bill” might just hand your paint-your-own pottery (PYOP) business the tax brush of your dreams?
That’s right. While the headlines are busy arguing over politics, we’ve been digging through the fine print—and this proposed bill has serious potential for studio owners who want to grow their business, support their lifestyle, and maybe even upgrade that dusty kiln without sweating the tax bill.
This bill would lock in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act for good. That means lower tax rates and higher standard deductions stay put—leaving more money for new glazes, fresh brushes, and expanding your weekend workshops.
Thinking about new wheels, kilns, or that dreamy POS system with color-coded inventory tracking? Under this plan, you could write off the full cost in the year you buy it. Yes, even that $15,000 ventilation system you've been side-eyeing.
If you’ve ever created a new pottery technique, developed custom glaze recipes, or even improved your studio flow—congrats, you’re doing R&D. And now? You might just be able to deduct every penny of it. Who knew experimenting with crackle glaze could be a strategic financial move?
Got a loan for your recent studio remodel or used credit to bulk order mugs before the holiday rush? This bill could let you deduct more interest than ever before—meaning your smart financial risks get a bigger tax reward.
You’ve put your energy, time, and heart into building something real. And PYOP Accounting is here to make sure that effort actually pays you back. Our team helps women-owned studios and creative entrepreneurs turn their passion into sustainable income, with systems that don’t just support your art—but support your life.
This bill isn’t law yet. But if it becomes reality, it’ll move fast—and we’ll be right here to guide you through it with strategic planning, creative thinking, and zero jargon.
📌 Read the full article to see what you should do now to get your studio ready for a tax-friendly transformation.

Creativity and CPAs don’t generally go together. Most people think of CPAs as nerdy accountants who can’t talk with people. Well, it’s time to break that stereotype. Lively, friendly, and knowledgeable can be a part of your relationship with your CPA, as demonstrated by Donna and Chad Bordeaux. They have over 50 years of combined experience as entrepreneurial CPAs. They’ve owned businesses and helped business owners exceed their wildest dreams.
