Illustration of the spreadsheet layout — you type into these tabs inside the Excel / Google Sheets file. Not a screenshot; no figure shown is a real or promised result.

Who it's for

For freelancers, contractors and the self-employed who invoice

Designers, developers, writers, consultants, coaches, agencies of one — anyone who gets paid by clients and has to work out their own profit and their own tax. If you have ever guessed how much to set aside, or found out too late that one client was half your income, SoloCFO is built for you.

This is a spreadsheet, not accounting software or advice. It organises your numbers so you can see them clearly. It is not financial, accounting or tax advice — see the note at the bottom of this page.

What it actually is

One file. Eight tabs. Everything links.

You fill in two logs. Every other tab — dashboard, clients, cash flow, tax — updates itself. No setup marathon, no formulas to write.

The two tabs you touch

Income Log and Expense Log: one line per payment or cost, with dropdowns so entries stay tidy. Mark an invoice Paid or Unpaid — that single flag drives the whole file.

The six tabs that work for you

Dashboard, Clients, Cash Flow, Tax Reserve, plus Start Here and Settings. Profit, runway, accounts receivable, client concentration and tax set-aside — all calculated automatically.

What it does

See your whole money picture at a glance

Six things every freelancer needs to know, on one screen, always current.

Real profit, not just revenue

A live dashboard shows income, expenses and net profit — this month and year to date — so you know what you actually earned.

How much to set aside for tax

The Tax Reserve tab keeps a running set-aside from a percentage you choose, so a tax bill never ambushes you.

Who owes you

Unpaid invoices, totalled and aged (current, 30, 60, 90+ days), so nothing quietly slips past due.

Cash runway

Money in, money out and a running balance, month by month — with an estimate of how many months your cash covers.

Client concentration

See what share of your revenue each client is. When one client passes 40%, you'll see it before it becomes a risk.

It nudges you (optional)

The Google Sheets automation highlights overdue invoices and emails you a monthly snapshot. It never emails your clients.

Setup

Running in ten minutes

  1. Enter two settingsYour starting cash balance and the tax % you want to set aside. Once.
  2. Log income and expensesOne line each, with dropdowns. Mark invoices Paid or Unpaid.
  3. Read the DashboardProfit, runway, tax reserve and who owes you — all filled in for you.

A Quick-Start Guide (PDF) walks you through it, and there is nothing to install.

Why one file, not another app

You own it. It doesn't bill you every month.

Freelancer finance apps are typically $10–20 a month (checked July 2026; these are typical alternatives, not any one named product). SoloCFO is a one-time file you keep.

Questions

Good to know before you buy

How do I track freelance income and expenses in Google Sheets?

You type each payment and cost onto the Income and Expense log tabs, using the built-in dropdowns. The Dashboard, Cash Flow, Clients and Tax tabs then update themselves. It works the same way in Excel.

How much should a freelancer set aside for taxes?

SoloCFO's Tax Reserve tab keeps a running set-aside from a percentage you choose, so you always have a number to work to. It is an organisational tool, not tax advice — confirm your own rate and what's deductible with a qualified professional.

Do I need Excel?

No. Both editions are in the download and Google Sheets is free. Use whichever you have.

Is this a subscription?

No. One payment, and it's yours. Nothing to renew, nothing to cancel.

Do I need accounting experience?

None. If you can type a number and pick from a dropdown, you can run SoloCFO. The Quick-Start Guide covers the rest.

What if it's not for me?

You have 60 days and you get your money back. Request a refund through Digistore24 — no questions, no hoops.
