This spreadsheet was created by a Certified Public Accountant to help you simplify your personal monthly bookkeeping process. There are separate tabs to help you categorize expenses, along with a main tab that summarizes all your income and expenses by category. There's also a tab where you can break down your monthly budget goals for income and spending, and compare your actual results to your budget with colorful visual bar charts.
