I created a startup finance sheet out of frustration, now it's saving me hours each week.
A few months ago, I was trying to keep track of my startup’s finances — revenue, expenses, burn rate, break-even, all that. I thought it would be simple. Spoiler: it wasn’t. 😅
Every tool I found was either built for big companies or needed a finance degree to even set up.
So I did what any founder tired of spreadsheets would do — I built my own.
I started with the basics: tracking income and expenses. But then I realized I needed more:
A month-wise P&L that updates itself
Cash flow & burn rate (because runway panic is real)
A break-even calculator (which actually helped me price better)
And something that didn’t make me cry when I opened it on a Monday morning
It’s not fancy. No VC dashboards or AI graphs. But it works. It’s helped me understand my own numbers better and avoid a few expensive mistakes.
Now when someone asks “What’s your burn?” or “When do you break even?” — I don’t stare at them blankly.
I’ve shared a bit more on my profile for those who might be struggling with the same chaos.
Not trying to sell anything here — just thought I’d share because honestly, I wish I had something like this 6 months ago
