business finances through income and expense tracking an invoice generator task management reporting and access to C Visual and custom accounting dashboards pretty cool huh now my focus today is to show you how this works and how you can make the most of my bookkeeping toolkit which I've called sheety bookkeeping okay so this is a new product that I recently launched and as I mentioned this is called sheify bookkeeping this is our all-in-one Dynamic and datadriven bookkeeping platform built with Google Sheets and integrated with your favorite Google Apps and today I'm going to walk through a complete sheet ofy bookkeeping tutorial showing you how to get up and running with this template in minutes shifi bookkeeping allows you to stay on top of all your bookkeeping and accounting needs from managing all your assets and liabilities as well as income and expenses through to automatically generating invoices managing accounting tasks and Visually understanding how your business's finances are performing this is with our seven Dynamic visual dashboards allowing you to understand the health of your business as well as forecasting and achieving your financial goals okay so to get started once you've purchased shifi bookkeeping simply open up this PDF then come down and click on get template and that's going to take you to this folder we have a custom invoice that we can set up our sheify bookkeeping template and our sheify guide and Licensing PDF let's go ahead and open up sheety bookkeeping then navigate over to file and make a copy then come down and name this template you can add your business name if you like I'm just going to add sheify bookkeeping demo then come down to folder and choose a location I'm just going to select my drive for now and then click on make

then navigate over to sheify and then click on set up sheety bookkeeping and set authorization come down click on okay choose the Google account that you use to open up sheify bookkeeping navigate over to Advanced and then click on go to sheify bookkeeping now if you see that warning don't be alarmed this is normal because you're essentially allowing your sheify bookkeeping template to access your other different Google apps but remember at the moment only you have access to this template because you created your own version then come down and click on allow and just like that we've set up sheify bookkeeping now let's navigate back over to sheify and what we can do is open up quick start if we click here and that's going to open up this quick start guide now if you prefer to learn through Reading then you can make use of this quick start guide however we'll be covering everything in this tutorial now we can also navigate up to sheify again and then come down and click on hide quick start and that's going to hide this quick start option from your menu down below okay so let's first cover settings here you want to select the currency that you want to use inside sheet ofi bookkeeping as well as the start month of your financial year as well as the start year so here we have our five FIS schal Years starting from 2024 however if I change this to 2025 that's going to up update the coverage period let's change this back to 2024 then navigate down the page this is where you can add notes resources and links that are relevant to you if we navigate across we have profit goals for example let's focus on 2024 and add some profit goals for each of these months as you can see I've quickly added 10K for each month and these are my monthly profit goals we can also navigate down to business goals and Define our business goals in here okay let's navigate back up to income categories this is where you can add specific income categories you can see we've added some default options up here I'm going to leave these as they are for the purpose of this tutorial as well as for the expense categories however if you like simply add your new expense categories or income categories down here or change the existing options then what we want to do is navigate down to reporting email here you simply want to add the reporting emails that you want to send reports to and if we navigate up to sheify and then come down to report sptify if we click on send all reports that's going to send a snapshot of all these different reports directly into the emails that you added down

going to add the date as well as the ID then the item over here this income transaction is from an ebook that we sold and if I navigate across here I can choose the category let's say I sold this product via Shopify sales then add the amount as well as tax and fees where applicable now what we can do is also leverage this tax calculator to determine the amount of tax that we need to pay for example I'm going to add 59 which is the price of this ebook which we just sold and let's say the tax rate is 15% 0.15 so the amount of tax for this specific product this $59 ebook is $8.85 so I'm going to add that amount in here and then transaction fees of $3 and we can see the net income over here for this particular transaction now what we can do is add another transaction down here or we can simply navigate up to the sheify menu and then click on ADD income and that's going to add a new row at the top this saves us scrolling all the way down the bottom when you you have hundreds and thousands of transactions so I'm going to quickly add another income transaction and as you can see one of the items we sold was a web design package the category was web service this was the amount the tax and fees now up here you can see the total amount of income transactions as well as total tax total fees and total net income over here okay so we got two transactions let's now navigate over to expenses and quickly add two expenses similar to how we added two in transactions okay so as you can see I've added two expense transactions we have a web developer expense which is a salary let's say we paid a contractor to develop our website that cost us $2,000 100 of that was tax and 200 of that was fees and you can see the net expense over here and then we have Shopify subscription which

invoicing and you'll see these notifications pop up down here essentially sheify bookkeeping is setting up the ability to generate invoices for your clients inside your account then you'll be taken back to settings and if we navigate across over to these settings here you can see all this data has been generated and I'll cover this shortly first what we want to do is find the invoice template ID

invoice template ID and paste the link in here and that's all we need to do now if we come down here you can see invoice folder URL this is where you can find all your invoices so once you generate a invoice you can find them all in this folder then then if we come down under invoice form link this is the form that you can share with your customers to fill out their business details or you can fill out this form yourself for example let's click on this form and then open up this Google form now if you like you can make changes to the look and style of this form however you want to keep all of this information the same down here simply take the time to add the invoice number invoice date the due date add the first name of the customer last name as well as the company name street address their phone number email and you can add a discount in here if you like this is optional and this is a dollar value for example you can add 50 for $50 off then down here we can add the units we have unit one description and price so what is the unit for example I could add website package the description could be this is our e-commerce web design package and then the price down here then these other units are optional we have unit 2 as well as the description and price unit 3 unit 4 and unit 5 which are all optional okay so I'm going to take the time to quickly fill this out okay so as you

design Max package this is the description and the price down here we also have unit 2 which is another service that we offer Google ads this is the description 3 months of Google ads management and
