More than simply "a bit odd". She assigns costs for her house and car over the full year, rather than for just the four months she claims is her working season. She also claims a tax bill of $15,000 on income of $50,000, which suggests she needs a better tax attorney - many of the charges detailed (and already counted in the balance sheet) can be offset against taxable income, which should reduce that total considerably. I'm not saying that she's charging too much - just that the figures presented to "justify" that charge don't hold water. Far better to simply say "I charge that much because that's a fair market price for what I offer - if you can find a deal you like better, take it".
