Hi, I'm Ishara Vithana — the person behind Finance Made Simple™.

With over two decades of experience in accounting, bookkeeping, and small business finance, I'm a Xero Certified Advisor, Dext Certified Expert, Fathom Advisor, and Tally Prime expert. I started building these spreadsheets out of necessity — I was doing budgets, tax prep, and invoice tracking by hand for myself and for clients, and kept rebuilding the same fixes over and over. Eventually I stopped starting from scratch every time and built templates that actually held up.

That's what Finance Made Simple is: professional-grade financial tools, without the cost or complexity of hiring an accountant. Every template here — budgeting, tax prep, invoicing, or planning a wedding — is built the same way: automatic calculations, protected formulas so nothing breaks by accident, and instructions clear enough that you don't need to be a spreadsheet person to use them.

If you run into any trouble with a template, or just want to say what worked (or didn't), I'm at financemadesimple.support@gmail.com. I read every message myself.
