Run Your Business on Google Sheets

Your business numbers are scattered. A sales figure lives in your head. Stock is on a notepad. Invoices get rebuilt from scratch every time. Month-end means guesswork. This book shows a small business owner, solopreneur, or shop manager how to build a small set of clean, trustworthy Google Sheets that actually run the business — using a free tool already attached to your Google account. You will build a working income-and-expense tracker, a reusable invoice template, an inventory sheet with low-stock alerts, and a month-by-month cash-flow summary. Along the way you will learn the dozen functions that do real business work — SUM, IF, SUMIF, VLOOKUP, TODAY, and the rest — plus data validation and dropdowns that keep entries honest, pivot tables that answer questions without extra tabs, and sharing permissions that let collaborators in without letting them break the formulas. Every chapter names the failure modes plainly: the sheet that looks authoritative while quietly reporting the wrong total, the category typed five different ways so nothing sums correctly, the formula whose range stopped covering the data months ago. This book does not claim Sheets replaces accounting software or a bookkeeper. It covers the everyday tracking a small business actually does. If your numbers are everywhere and nowhere, build the system this week. Scroll up and grab your copy now.
