With tax season upon us, many of us are once again forced to face our financial picture from the past year. As a professional organizer and bookkeeper with over two decades of experience, I understand how stressful this time of year can be—especially for those who avoid dealing with their finances.

You might be missing out on savings goals, overspending beyond your monthly income, or even damaging your credit score. That’s why gaining control over your finances—and the paperwork that comes with them—is essential for long-term financial health and retirement planning. To help you get started, I’ve broken the process down into six simple steps that will set you on the path to financial clarity.
