PLEASE NOTE! – This is an Excel Spreadsheet. It is recommended you have at least a basic knowledge of Excel, including formulas.
The Income and Expense Spreadsheet for Homesteaders and Small Farms is designed to make the financial side of homesteading easier. Maintaining a working farm takes dedication, attention to details and time. A lot of time. But we love most every minute of it. I say most, because taking care of the numbers can be frustrating and time-consuming. When the income is less than the expenses, it can be heart-breaking. But the flip side can be even worse – not keeping up with the financial numbers. If you don’t know how much is coming in, or how much is going out, you could very easily lose everything you have worked so hard for.
Most accountants want a breakdown of everything you spend. The IRS wants to make certain you make a profit at least every 1 to 3 years. But how can you effectively know if you are?
If spending less time on the numbers end of farming is appealing you, a spreadsheet can work easily into your routine. I keep all my receipts, notes on cash income and invoices in a box on my desk. One day a week I sit at the computer and input all the information in the correct category. Even on a heavy week, I usually spend one hour or less taking care of the financial business.
Once I am finished with inputting the information, I store all the receipts in a Manilla envelope with the year written on the front (just in case there are questions). That frees me up to work outside, or do other things.
This Income & Expense Spreadsheet makes it easy to track your finances. It keeps the accounting portion of farming simple, and less of a headache. Knowing exactly how much money is coming in, and where it is going is a stress reliever.
The Income & Expense Spreadsheet is customizable for your own farm. You can easily add, delete or change any of the sections to personalize it for your needs. And if you need help with the set up, I am just an email away!
