Turn bank transactions into organised bookkeeping, a monthly Profit & Loss, an indicative VAT summary and a clear business dashboard - all in Microsoft Excel.
Full product description
Keep your bookkeeping organised without starting from a blank spreadsheet.
The Finreportly Bookkeeping Template is a guided Excel system for small-business owners who want a simpler monthly process. Paste a bank CSV export, map the bank's columns, let reusable rules suggest categories and VAT treatment, then review only the transactions that need attention.
Approved bank transactions and manual entries feed a structured transaction ledger, bank reconciliation, monthly Profit & Loss, indicative VAT Summary and visual Dashboard. Built-in checks highlight incomplete records before you rely on the reports.
