You drove to the signing. Did you actually get paid for it?
Between NotaryGadget, MileIQ, your calendar, and a paper journal, the miles, fees, and receipts that lower your tax bill quietly slip through the cracks. Most loan signing agents have no idea how much income they leak every month.
Sound familiar?
Mileage you never claim
You drive hundreds of miles between signings, but logging every trip by hand means most of it never makes it onto your Schedule C.
Receipts that vanish
Printer paper, toner, parking, tolls — the small business expenses pile up in your car and glovebox, then disappear before tax season.
Four tools, one signing
Signing-order email here, calendar there, mileage app, paper journal. Re-typing the same appointment four times is how details and invoices get dropped.
Invoices that go unpaid
With no single source of truth for which signings were billed and paid, chasing a missed $150 fee weeks later is nearly impossible.
