Stop guessing at
your numbers.
The Quarterly Profit Planner is a year-round spreadsheet that plans and tracks your income, expenses, profit, and tax set-aside — one simple quarter at a time.
You plan your money once a year. Then you guess.
You know roughly what’s coming in. You’re fuzzy on what’s going out. And every tax season you promise yourself that next year you’ll be ready. The problem isn’t you — it’s that nobody handed you a system that fits how you actually work: in bursts, in plain English, without a bookkeeping degree.
Four quarters. One planner. Zero math homework.
Plan the quarter
Set three money goals and map what you expect to earn and spend. Ten minutes, and you’ve got a plan instead of a vibe.
Track as you go
Drop in the real numbers each month. Totals, profit, and profit margin update the second you type.
Know your tax number
The planner tells you what to set aside — 20% of gross or 30% of net, whichever is higher — so April is boring, not brutal.
See the whole year
The Year at a Glance tab rolls all four quarters into one clean picture. Watch your year take shape.
Review & adjust
A quick end-of-quarter review shows what worked and what leaked, so next quarter is sharper.
Make it yours
Rename every revenue stream and expense category. It fits a coach, a consultant, a shop, or a course creator.
The part that saves your sanity
Every quarter, the planner tells you exactly how much to hold back for taxes — 20% of your gross income or 30% of your net profit, whichever is higher. Move it to a separate account and forget it’s there. That one habit is the difference between a boring April and a brutal one.

Hi, I’m Clarissa.
I’m a forensic accountant and former government tax auditor, and these days I keep the books for service businesses like yours. I spent six years auditing other people’s numbers, so I know exactly where money quietly slips through the cracks. I built this planner because the owners I work with don’t need more theory — they need a simple tool they’ll actually use. No shame about what you weren’t taught. Just your numbers, made simple.
Do I need Excel?
Nope. It works in Excel, Google Sheets, and Apple Numbers. Just make a copy and you’re good to go.
I’m not a numbers person. Will I get lost?
That’s exactly who I built it for. There’s a Start Here guide, an example row already filled in, and plain-English labels on everything. If you can type a number, you can use it.
Is this tax advice?
No. The tax set-aside is a planning cushion based on a simple rule of thumb. Your actual tax bill depends on your situation — but setting money aside beats scrambling.
Can I use it for a business AND personal money?
It’s built for business finances. Rename the categories and you could bend it toward personal use, but it shines for owners tracking business income and expenses.
Plan it, track it, keep more of it.
