It suits gardeners, landscapers and lawn care business owners who want a clear profit and loss without paying for accounting software.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease read:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a tracker tool only, not financial, tax, legal, medical or any other professional advice or advisory service. It records and calculates what you enter; you are solely responsible for checking all figures, rates, dates and results and for every decision you make.

Everything else reads those two registers: the monthly and quarterly views, the profit and loss statement, the sales tax worksheet and the dashboard. Nothing is entered twice, so the reports always agree with the ledger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e16 connected tabs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery tab below works from the same two registers, so it doubles as an income tracker and an expense tracker for the year:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncome:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500 rows, with the tax split out on every line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpenses:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500 rows, split the same way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetup:\u003c\/strong\u003e your categories, your tax rates and your set-aside percentage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMonthly, Quarterly and Profit \u0026amp; Loss:\u003c\/strong\u003e all calculated, nothing typed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSales Tax:\u003c\/strong\u003e collected against paid, by rate and by quarter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstimated Tax:\u003c\/strong\u003e four quarterly set-asides at your own rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustom Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e pick any two dates and every figure follows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComparison:\u003c\/strong\u003e this year against last, month by month\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalances:\u003c\/strong\u003e what each account took in and paid out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDashboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e six live figures and the four quarters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStart Here:\u003c\/strong\u003e setup in a few minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eReal files, filled and blank\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou get real spreadsheet files, not a PDF with a link in it: Excel and Google Sheets, each filled with a worked example and each blank and ready for your own numbers.
