Ask HN: Which financial templates did you use for your startup?

Posted by marcamillion on Wednesday March 21, 2012 @07:20PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Where can I get good excel templates for startup financials?

I want to create my balance sheet, income statement & cash flow statement.

I know the default answer is 'docstoc' or one of these hosting sites, but a lot of the templates I have seen seem like overkill for my simple needs.

If you have a decent number of transactions you might want to consider using GnuCash which can generate all of those financial statements automatically.

Not that many.

Very simple statements...nothing too complex at all.

Probably under 200 transactions (including all expenses paid and income received)...if so much.

Definitely not. That's wayy too complex.

I just want a simple template that will allow me to do my books for my company.

That's all...nothing complicated.
