# Simple Single-entry Bookkeeping

Whee, the joy of simple single-entry bookkeeping.

Updated to 2023, added some learnings over the 2 years.

* I have invoice/document PDFs on file of all the green incomes
* I have receipt PDFs on file of all the red expenses

Here's the single-entry bookkeeping template that I use (LibreOffice Calc), now updated to 2023. It has gotten a bit more complicated than before, but the blue cells are a lifesaver. They're exactly what Finnish TAX officials ask from you in the Arvonlisäveroilmoitus and Veroilmoitus. I just copy and paste the correct values from the bookkeeping to the TAX forms. I've checked this with a professional bookkeeper:
