I posted a sample Excel spreadhseet in the forum. This is the skeleton of the actual Excel book I use to manage my freelance writing business (set up by my accountant husband). It has tabs to track customers, pitches, time spent, expenses and income. I hope the formulas have migrated, but either way, you should know how to use Excel in order to use this spreadsheet.
Did you know you can post documents in our forum?


Thank you! I’m still getting started and I’ve needed a little help with tracking everything. This will give me a push in the right direction.
Seems like a helpful spreadsheet… having a single sample client/project/etc. would be helpful, so the purpose of all the columns is immediately clear.
Don’t worry though, I’ll figure it out! Thanks for posting it for us. Editing a proven tool takes vastly less time than creating one from scratch.
