For independent consultants selling adult novelty products at home parties

The August party took the year past $12,000.

Soiree logs each party’s sales, whether the company collected the tax, your commission and the stock you used, watches the registration threshold that goes with your company’s tax agreement, and will not close a year while a line is crossed with no registration recorded.

The problem

Your company’s deal decides your line.

Whether an independent consultant must register with the state depends on what the direct selling company has agreed with it. In Washington, with no agreement, you register if you must collect retail sales tax at all, or once yearly gross income reaches $12,000. With an agreement where the company collects sales tax, the lines are much higher.

Will not close a year that crossed the line unregistered.

Not a reminder. Close the year refuses, naming the reason, while a threshold for your company’s agreement is crossed and no registration is recorded, a party has no sales or commission figure, or a party the company did not tax has no tax recorded. A closed year is frozen. There is no override.

How it works

Party, statement, year

Log each party

The date, the retail sales, whether the company collected the tax, and the stock you used.

Add the commission

From the company’s statement, when it comes.

Close the year

When nothing is open and every line is covered, close it and hand the totals over.

What it will never do

It keeps the money. Not the menu.

Soiree holds dates and dollars, never what was bought.

No products, no buyers.A party is a date, a host’s initials and the totals.

No company connection.You type from the company’s statements.

It is not tax advice.It is the log and the line.

It never touches a payment.One price, for software.

Pricing

One price, once

Close gate, no override

One-time price. Your bank statement says Soiree Software. Your licence key is emailed to you within two working days of payment.

Checkout is our own bitcoin server, not a card processor — nobody we had to apply to and nobody who can close the account. The button takes you straight to it. Give your email address there — that is where your key is sent.

Questions

The ones we actually get asked

How do I know which agreement my company has?

Ask the company; it knows. Set it in Settings and Soiree uses the matching line.

Is gross income the same as sales?

Soiree counts it as your sales plus your commission, to be safe. Ask your preparer how your state counts it.

Is this tax advice?

No. It is the log you keep and the line you watch.

What do I actually get when I pay?

The demo on this page is the whole program, running on invented records. Paying gets you a licence key — one line of text, emailed to the address you give at checkout within two working days. Paste it into the program and from then on it keeps your own records. Until then, nothing you type into it is kept.

The key is checked inside the page, on your own machine. It never calls us, so there is still no account and nothing about your business goes anywhere. If you ever stop paying, your records stay exactly where they are, read-only, and Export still hands you every one of them.

Open the demo before the next party

Last year is closed. This year crossed $12,000 at the August party with no registration on file, one party went untaxed by the company, and one is still waiting on its commission statement.
