I'm stumped and Google was no help. As a new business owner I've hired a handful of freelancers/contractors to work on various projects. For ease, lets say I've hired four: two directly, two through an online service such as oDesk.com. I think answering my question for the oDesk two will answer well enough for the other two, but would love for someone to confirm this.
How do I put these contractors into accounting software (I'm using Wave if it matters any)? I assume as vendors, but is my vendor oDesk or is it the individual contractor?
Now it gets really bad. I'm trying to learn accounting here. When I have a project and I put in bills from contractors from oDesk, how do I tie that to a specific project/client? Or should I?
Ever feel like you jumped into the deep end thinking, "Hey, I know how to swim." Only to find out the water's teaming with sharks? Funny, they have IRS stamped on them. That can't be right—
If anyone has a good primer somewhere I could read to sort of get this, fantastic. Thank you much.
