Slime Books — Small Business Bookkeeping & Cash Flow Dashboard (Excel + Google Sheets)
QuickBooks results. No subscription. $39, once.
You started a business, not an accounting hobby. But right now your transactions are scattered across bank apps, your "profit" is a vibe, and quarterly taxes are a jump-scare.
Slime Books is a complete bookkeeping system in one spreadsheet. Log each transaction on a monthly tab — date, description, a category picked from a dropdown — and the dashboard does everything else.
- Auto-rolling Cash Flow Dashboard — income vs. expenses chart, profit by month, running cash balance, top 5 expense categories, YTD summary. Updates the moment you type.
- 12 monthly transaction tabs (Jan–Dec) with dropdowns for category, income/expense, and payment method
- Schedule C–aligned categories — 35 categories mapped to US Schedule C lines with plain-English notes and live YTD totals (labeled clearly: consult your tax pro)
- Quarterly Tax Estimate Helper — enter the rate your tax pro suggests; it computes a set-aside for each IRS estimated-tax quarter, with the real (uneven!) quarter dates
- Invoice & AR mini-tracker — who owes you what, auto days-overdue, outstanding/overdue/collected totals
- One-paste bank CSV import — paste your bank download, get clean amounts and month labels instantly
- Quick Start guide — set two yellow cells and you're live in 10 minutes. Sample data included.
Works in Excel and Google Sheets (upload → Save as Google Sheets — dropdowns, formulas, and charts come along).
Why $39? The $6 sheets are a single tab with a SUM formula. The $97 ones are this, with a webinar attached. Slime Books sits in the honest middle: a full system, one-time price, no upsell maze.
