Advertising disclosure: I link to a paid product I ship — the Finance OS clone (EUR 9). Sample CSV + CLI below are free. Not tax or financial advice.
Most solopreneurs treat tax like a once-a-year panic. That is the expensive way to do it.
landolio's post walks through a five-column transaction log: date, category, amount, description, type. Log income when it lands. Log expenses when they leave. The spreadsheet calculates profit, income tax estimate, Class 4 NI, and a tax pot to set aside every month.

Our shameless clone ships the same self-assessment + tax planning promise as CSV + Python CLI at EUR 9.

Why monthly beats January
Self-assessment is not a January problem. It is a cash-flow discipline problem.
landolio's insight: if you know your tax pot number every month, you never spend money that belongs to HMRC. heyismail's Finance OS rolls the same numbers into monthly and quarterly reporting views — budgets, subscriptions, net worth, and goals on top.
That is why 15,254 buyers paid $29+ instead of duct-taping a blank spreadsheet and a panic folder.
Optional: full Finance OS
heyismail's complete Notion template is $29+ on Gumroad (15,254 sales · 177 ratings).
Our clone ships income + expense + budget + subscription + account + goal CSVs, ledger merge, tax buffer, and self-assessment module at EUR 9 one-time (instant zip after Stripe):
