Why I built offline QR invoices & 6-country tax inside Google Sheets

Hey everyone!
Every solo founder, consultant, and small studio I talked to had the exact same back-office headache: paying $150 $250/mo across QuickBooks, a separate CRM, a task tracker, and an invoicing tool only to export everything back into Google Sheets at tax time anyway.
At the same time, almost every Google Sheets invoice template breaks in real life for two reasons:
1. Using =IMAGE() APIs for payment QR codes triggers Google's scary yellow "trying to send data to external parties" warning banner.
2. You end up manually updating 15+ tabs until a formula breaks.
So for Sheetly Global OS (launching today!), I engineered two things under the hood:
100% local in-sheet QR generation triggered silently when you tick a print checkbox embedding your Stripe/PayPal Scan-to-Pay QR on a clean PDF invoice with zero external API calls.
A single Country Selector on Setup that rewires tax labels, Top 5 CPA write-offs, and a 25% tax reserve across US (IRS Schedule C), UK (HMRC VAT), Canada (GST/HST), Australia (BAS), EU VAT, and 0% Export while you only ever type into 5 simple dropdown/checkbox tabs.
Curious how fellow builders and solo founders here run their invoicing + tax tracking today do you stick with spreadsheets, Notion, or a dedicated accounting SaaS?
