Recording Income and Expenditure

When you're freelancing, you act as your own boss and the accounting side of things can get a bit messy so it's always an A+ idea to keep track of what's coming in and what's going out of your (in my case, perpetually EMPTY) wallet. A great way to get a handle on this is to document it using a spreadsheet. That way you can see everything easily and quickly and if you ever have to prove a payment or service you can just refer back to your records.

Records of income and expenditure are just for you so you can lay them out however you want, but I've done mine with a billion subcategories because that's just how I roll.
