Freelancer Finance Tracker — Complete | Finance Made Simple™
See your whole business, not just the half that gets invoiced.
Complete adds what Pro can't show you: every expense, every non-invoice income, your VAT position, and a Year-End Summary built to the real UK tax year — so "am I actually profitable" finally has a real answer.
What changes once you're using this
No more checking two places to understand your finances. Every expense sits next to every invoice. Cash Flow Overview shows the whole month, not just the invoicing half of it. And when the tax year closes, Year-End Summary is already print-ready for your accountant.
What's inside
- Everything from Pro, carried forward unchanged — invoicing, Client Analytics, Cash Collection, Revenue Forecast
- Expense Register — full category-based tracking, alongside your income for the first time
- Other Income Register — 200 rows, for income that isn't invoiced
- Cash Flow Overview — a genuine whole-business monthly cash picture
- Year-End Summary — the real UK tax year, 6 April–5 April, print-ready for your accountant
- VAT Tracker — record-keeping only (charged, paid, net position) — no return calculation, no filing complexity
- 9,025 formulas, independently hand-reconciled — verified, not just built
Who this is for
A freelancer or sole trader who's outgrown "just invoicing" — tracking real expenses somewhere else (or nowhere), wanting one workbook with an honest income-minus-expenses picture.
How it works
Set up Settings first (categories, clients). Log invoices and expenses as they happen. Check Cash Flow Overview through the year. Pull Year-End Summary once your tax year closes.
What you get in the download
- Demo workbook (a full realistic year across every sheet)
- Blank workbook (completely clean)
- A one-page Quick Start PDF
What this doesn't do
No VAT return calculation or submission, no MTD filing, no Income Tax or NI calculation, no Self Assessment prep, no HMRC filing of any kind. Complete is record-keeping — deliberately, it never crosses into tax calculation. If you want an estimated Income Tax and NI figure before you file, that's Tax Prep (£29.99) — built to plug straight into this workbook's Year-End Summary.
The honest print
This is a spreadsheet template for whole-business record-keeping. It's not accounting, legal, or tax software, and Finance Made Simple™ isn't a firm of accountants. VAT figures are for record-keeping only and do not constitute a VAT return or submission.
