Quire Paper / Finance & money math / Small-Business Bookkeeping Workbook
Bookkeeping without the bookkeeper

Every invoice and expense in one place — and a P&L that updates itself.

Two clean ledgers and a dashboard that does the accounting arithmetic for you: log income with invoice status, log expenses with category dropdowns, and watch monthly net profit, the 12-month view, and the category breakdown stay current — pure formulas, no macros, nothing to break.

Small-Business Bookkeeping Workbook — the actual workbook, full size
How it works

Log it. The dashboard does the rest.

Three tabs you touch, one you read, and a How-to that explains everything — including the unlock password.

01

Log income as it happens

Date, client, invoice number, amount, status. Paid rows count as income; Invoiced and Overdue wait in the OUTSTANDING total — and overdue rows highlight themselves.

02

Log expenses with a dropdown

Pick a category from the dropdown, type the amount, done. The category list is yours to edit — add a category and it appears on the dashboard automatically.

03

Read the month at a glance

Pick any month: income, expenses, net profit, outstanding invoices, and your top expense category — plus every category's month, year, and share of spending.

04

See the year in one row

The 12-month view lays out income, expenses, and net by month — negative months turn red on their own. Year totals sit at the end of the row.

05

Trust the math

Everything is live formulas — SUMIFS, no macros, no data connections. Inputs are unlocked; everything else is protected so the math can't break (password documented inside).

06

Start from the sample

The workbook ships with generic sample data so you can see it working the moment it opens — overwrite it with your own income and expenses and go.

What's inside

Five tabs. Zero macros. One honest P&L.
