Bookkeeping gets messy quickly when you're busy
When you're running a small business, your attention is pulled in every direction — chasing invoices, dealing with customers, managing suppliers, and just keeping the day-to-day moving. Bookkeeping often ends up as an afterthought, scribbled on scraps of paper or buried in a chaotic spreadsheet.
The good news is that staying on top of your records doesn't have to be complicated. A few simple, well-structured templates can make a real difference — helping you track what's coming in, what's going out, and where your time is going, without needing to be an accountant.

These templates won't do your bookkeeping for you — but they'll give you a clear, tidy place to start.
What's Included
Seven practical Excel templates, each designed to tackle a specific part of everyday small business record-keeping.
Business Mileage Log
Track every business journey easily — dates, destinations, and miles covered — ready for your tax return.
Customer Invoice Template
A professional, easy-to-use invoice you can send to clients quickly, with your own branding and payment details.
Cash Flow Template
See what's coming in and going out month by month, so you're never caught short by an unexpected bill.
Purchase Order Template
Keep a clear record of every order placed with suppliers — useful for chasing deliveries and reconciling costs.
Monthly Timesheet Template
Log hours worked — useful for sole traders billing by the hour or small teams tracking time across projects.
Petty Cash Template
Record every small purchase so nothing slips through the cracks at month end. Simple, clear, and easy to maintain.
Mixed-Use Vehicle Expenses Guide
A handy guide to help you work out which vehicle costs you can legitimately claim when a car is used for both business and personal trips.
Who These Templates Are For
You don't need to be a numbers person to use these. If any of the following sounds like you, they're worth downloading.
Sole Traders
Running everything yourself and need a quick, low-effort way to keep your records tidy for HMRC.
Start-Ups
Early-stage businesses that want to build good habits from the beginning, before things get complicated.
Local Service Businesses
Tradespeople, cleaners, consultants, and other service providers who invoice clients and need simple tracking.
Small Teams
Businesses with a handful of staff who need a lightweight system without the cost of complex software.
Spreadsheet Users
Comfortable with Excel and want something structured that doesn't require learning new software or paying monthly fees.
Not Ready to Hire Yet
Anyone who wants useful, practical tools right now but isn't quite ready to bring in a bookkeeper — that's completely fine.
Why a Simple First Step Works
Not every visitor is ready to pick up the phone or book a consultation straight away — and that's completely understandable. Sometimes you just need something useful you can act on today.
That's exactly what these templates offer. They give you real, practical value right now: a cleaner way to log your mileage, track your cash, or send a professional invoice. No commitment, no pressure, no jargon.
When you are ready for a bit of extra support — whether it's setting up your records properly, getting ahead of a tax deadline, or simply offloading the admin — Any Other Business will be right here. The templates are a helpful first step; the bookkeeping support is there when you need it.

Download the templates, use them at your own pace, and come back when you're ready for more hands-on help.
