A quick promise before you dig in

We'll always show the free, native Google Sheets route first. If a paid tool ever comes up, we'll tell you who it's for, who should skip it, and what the free alternative is. We don't do tax, legal, or accounting advice — our templates organise information, they don't replace a professional.
