PLEASE NOTE

This is a lightweight management tracker. It calculates recorded income minus recorded expenses and does not separate cash timing from earned or incurred timing. It is not accounting, tax, payroll, inventory, or financial-statement software. Results depend on accurate entries; consult a qualified professional about classifications and reporting requirements.

The workbook is designed for Excel. You can try uploading a copy to Google Sheets, then check the formulas, dropdowns, date display, and chart after import. All sample transactions and business names are fictional.
