Records and review

What should I record for an expense?

Keep the date, supplier, amount, business purpose and supporting receipt or invoice. Adapt the sheet if you need additional fields.

Does this calculate my tax reserve or quarterly payment?

Do not rely on this template for a verified tax reserve, safe owner draw or quarterly tax payment. Ask a qualified professional to determine your tax obligations.

Can I share it with my accountant?

You can share the Google Sheet with the permissions you choose. Agree the records and supporting documents needed for their review.

Is my financial data secure?

The sheet is stored in your Google Drive. Avery’s app and relay-only Sheets modes handle transaction storage differently; account and balance information may still be stored by Avery. Review the data and integrations page and your connection permissions before connecting.
