Frequently asked questions

Do I need Excel, or does Google Sheets work?

Both work. You get versions for Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets, so use whichever you already have on your computer. Every formula, category, and dashboard works the same in both, and you can switch between them without losing any of your entries or history.

I am not good with spreadsheets. Is this hard to use?

No. There are no formulas to write and nothing to build: you just enter your income and expenses, and everything else calculates automatically. Categories are pre-set for small business, and each sheet includes short instructions at the top so you always know what goes where.

Does it work for Canadian taxes?

Yes. It is built for Canadian small business, and the 2027 tax prep sheet organizes your totals the way your accountant or tax software needs them. The mileage log keeps your vehicle claims organized too. It is a tracking tool, not tax advice, so your accountant still makes the final calls.

What if my business grows beyond a spreadsheet?

The file handles a growing transaction list comfortably, and your history stays clean and organized. If you eventually move to accounting software, you will migrate with tidy, categorized records instead of a mess, which saves you real money on setup.

What do I get when I buy?

You get an instant digital download with both the Excel and Google Sheets versions of the spreadsheet, yours to keep. Buy on Etsy or Gumroad and your files are ready in seconds. There is no physical product, nothing ships, and no subscription.
