Content Creator Bookkeeping

Who still owes you? If AdSense, affiliates, bonuses and brand deals pay you, your money lives in five dashboards — and the two costliest creator problems appear in none of them: the invoice a brand forgot to pay, and the brand running your video after its usage rights expired. This tracker puts your money year in one Google Sheets file, 8 tabs: a Brand Deal Pipeline moving deals from pitch to paid with due dates and self-firing flags, an Income Log, Expenses, a Tax Set-Aside Tracker, a 1099 Tracker and a Monthly Summary, watched from Dashboard.

The samples are one fictional creator's Jan–Oct 2026: $31,486 income, $12,291 expenses, $19,195 net. One brand's invoice reads OVERDUE, 26 days past due; another paid 56 days late; a third's usage window has expired. Invoiced and unpaid: $5,050, $2,800 overdue. The tax tab holds a 25% set-aside ($4,826 moved, $726 held); the 1099 watch flags a form $100 short. Not tax advice.

Transparency note: this spreadsheet was designed with AI assistance, then hand-built and formula-tested by our shop.
