I switched from a basic spreadsheet to a free app called Wave for my books

I mean, I was just putting numbers in a Google Sheet for maybe six months, but it got messy fast and I missed a tax payment. After I set up Wave, it pulled in my bank stuff and showed me my profit in like two minutes. Anyone else use something simple that just works for tracking?

Oh man, I feel this so hard. I did the exact same thing with a spreadsheet for my side gig and it was a total nightmare by the third month. I spent more time fixing my own entry mistakes than actually doing the work. Switching to a dedicated app was like a lightbulb moment, it just auto-categorized everything from my business account. What finally pushed you to make the switch?

Three years on a spreadsheet like dixon.david seems pretty solid to me.

Honestly I used to swear by my spreadsheet for three years straight.

Yeah, that auto-categorize thing is the real game changer lol. It just stops you from having to guess what you spent on supplies three months ago.
