Excel That Works

Stop guessing. Start getting paid.

You didn't start a business to become an accountant. Yet pricing, invoices, late payers, budgets and tax quietly eat your week, and the money still never feels under control.

Excel That Works: Money fixes that, one real problem at a time. Each chapter takes a money problem that almost every freelancer and small business owner runs into, and gives you a practical Excel tool you can set up in minutes and use for years. Every formula is explained in plain English and shown step by step, with full-color screenshots.

Inside, you'll learn how to:
Set a rate based on the income you actually want, not on what competitors charge
Turn any project into a quote you can defend
Send clean, professional invoices in two minutes
See who owes you money at a glance, and chase late payers calmly with ready-to-use scripts
Put every expense and payment in one simple log
Compare your plan with reality every month
Set tax aside automatically and never be surprised by a tax bill again
See your next 12 months on one screen and know exactly what's safe to spend

FREE BONUS: the complete Money Toolkit, a ready-to-use Excel file with all seven tools from the book, fully built and tested. Just type in the yellow cells.

You don't need to be "good at Excel." If you can type a number into a cell, you can use everything in this book.

Excel That Works is a practical series for freelancers and small business owners. This is Book 1.
