Another awesome video and excellent software tools Gillian. Love 🥰 the video and love 💞 Gillian.
Thanks so much! Glad you like it!
Thank you for those video. Perfect timing 😊
Ah, love it when that happens! Thanks for letting me know!
Thank you Gillian. I made my first sale the other day and have been thinking of a way to keep track of my business transactions. Thank you for the template.
congrats on your first sale!! Glad this came at the right time!
@Gillian Perkins I used the link you provided but it doesn’t seem to actually provide the template. Once I get your response email I am not able to open the sheet? I must not be doing it properly?
Not funny 🙂
Here’s the link to download the spreadsheet for free ❤ https://gillianperkins.com/ssbs/ and the link to give Melio a try: https://go.melio.com/gillian. Hope you find these resources helpful!
Nice Excel sample!
Love this!
Great, simple, straightforward presentation. You’re a great communicator. I’m so glad I found you.
QUICK QUESTION! Can you enter mileage on this sheet? I’m guessing I’d have to add a formula to calculate cost per mile? Appreciate your input.
You could definitely add that! Great idea!
@Gillian Perkins Too bad I don’t know how! 🤣 But yeah, good idea.
Thank you for sharing your valuable information ;it’s really helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Gillian.
That may be an easy web app.
It is!
Downloaded mine, thank you.
Just one question – can I change the $ to the £ sign instead?
Yes, definitely!
I dont understand how this works for a monthly statement? do we make a new sheet for every month?
Yep, you can do that and just name the new tab with the name of the month. 🙂
Thank you so much! I started a custom cookie business this year and this is perfect for my bookkeeping.
Glad it was helpful! And congrats on your new business!
You always give so much value, Gillian
I’m literally, watching every video and listening to free podcast as I start my business about work opportunities for mothers. I know that I’m in the right place knowing that you are a fellow Christian. 🙂 Thanks for this Gillian and may God bless you more. 🙏
So glad you’re here, Tina! ❤️
