apart from my new fascination for a word with three pairs of letters in row... i'm looking for an excel or numbers spreadsheet to record income and expenditure.
There seems to be a scarcity of genuine resources for the freelance / self employed designer that are geared towards simply recording and categorizing work related expenses ("research" anyone?) and recording these alongside date structured income.
does anyone have a template to share please?

Sign up for the "free" account.
Record expenses under the "Expenses" tab...record income under the Income > Payments tab.
It exports to CSV and Quickbooks if your accountant needs that later. It also does a lot of other shit that will help keep you organized if you're into that.
(Full disclosure: I designed it)

I struggled with my accounting when I came back from my 2 year volunteering in Argentina, I used to pay a bookkeeper around 600 a year to help me out with the taxes and the guy didn't informed about deadlines and missing declarations (of course that was my responsibility not his)... it took me around 5 months to get back on track and thanks a good friend, he taught me how to keep my accounting clean forcing me to learn everything the good old way: Paper, pencils and calculators... I am proud that now I dont need to spend a dime in accountant (for now) only for the most complex stuff and I designed my own spreadsheet for quebec declaration.
It gives you a great deal of confidence to negotiate your work... Still need to learn a lot and be more constant. But beside a good tracking software spreadsheets is the way to go.
A few good tools I found in my last year research:
mint.com
paymo.bizand here is a draft of my google spreadsheet for quebec taxes https://docs.google.com/a/21979.…

Someone told me about this recently. It looks good. Full package is a bit expensive I reckon though.
