Need a bookkeeping system made especially for etsy sellers?
Are you an Etsy shop owner without a bookkeeping system to support you?
Do you have financial paperwork and receipts stuffed into a shoebox, like a ticking time-bomb waiting to explode once your taxes are due?
Or maybe you just opened your Etsy shop, and you’re trying to figure out how to get this bookkeeping thing set up correctly from the beginning.
Accounting doesn’t come naturally to a lot of people, and it’s certainly not something most of us want to spend our free time doing. But keeping track of your shop’s finances can actually help your business make more money! Not to mention you gotta do it to deal with taxes.
THAT’S WHY I CREATED THE ETSY SELLER SPREADSHEET, A TOOL THAT DOES THE HEAVY-LIFTING FOR YOU, SO YOU CAN HAVE THE DATA YOU NEED TO MAKE SMART DECISIONS FOR YOUR BUSINESS AND MORE TIME TO DO WHAT YOU LOVE (CREATE!).
I debuted the Etsy Seller Spreadsheet back in 2015 and have sold thousands since. This spreadsheet has received countless rave reviews from Etsy sellers and makers about how user-friendly it is. And you are really going to love how it’s made especially for you – the maker, artisan, or Etsy shop owner. It even imports directly from Etsy!
Unlike other bookkeeping programs, all video instructions and written material is designed especially with you in mind, from a fellow Etsy seller, maker, and accountant.
The Etsy Seller Spreadsheet was created by myself – a Certified Public Accountant and real life maker – to help Etsy shop owners automate and simplify their monthly bookkeeping process. This tool compiles your business’ revenue and expenses each month to calculate your net profit. There are separate tabs to help you categorize expenses, along with monthly tabs for importing your Etsy transactional data directly from Etsy.
Not familiar with bookkeeping or with how to use a spreadsheet? No fear. Your purchase includes not only a detailed instruction guide in PDF form, but also a multi-part series of video tutorials to guide you through each step of how to import, use, and interpret the data on your Etsy Seller Spreadsheet.
““I have to tell you that your spreadsheet has changed my life. I used to have no clue about my income, and now I look forward to inputting it every month! It’s taken my from a place of being overwhelmed with the numbers, to feeling like I’m in control and I know what’s going on. It’s so funny to think that a spreadsheet can really change so much about my life, but yours has!”

Wait, now who the heck made this?
Hi there, my name’s Janet (I’m the one in front of the computer!) and I run a fun little biz called Paper + Spark.
I’m a Certified Public Accountant AND a real life maker. When I started selling jewelry on Etsy in 2011, I saw a huge need for more financial & tax resources especially for the handmade community.
Too many of us are letting numbers intimidate us! I don’t want your finances to be something that holds you back from achieving your entrepreneurial dreams.
That’s why in 2014 I combined my love of numbers with my love of all things creative and founded Paper + Spark. My founding product (and still my bestseller to this day!) is the Etsy Seller Spreadsheet.
