Self-employed? Keep it simple with a separate account for work

Separating your work and personal money lets you simplify your cash flow so you can take control of your finances. If you're not incorporated, a Fidelity^® Cash Management Account for your work finances can help.

Open an account

When you work for yourself, the money you earn is yours. You likely don't think twice about using your personal checking account to deposit checks and track expenses. Here's how opening a second account just for work can make a difference.

Better track cash flow and manage expenses

A clearer picture of money coming into and going out of accounts you use for work lets you plan more accurately.

Be more prepared for tax season

Keeping work finances separate can help simplify the tax filing process, which may help avoid mistakes and potential penalties.
