Creative Business Tracker Pro : Professional template for creative businesses

After years of handling freelance projects, I realized most business tools were either too complex (hello, $50/month SaaS subscriptions) or too simple (basic expense trackers that don't understand creative workflows). I needed something that could handle the chaos of creative work - multiple projects, irregular income, diverse clients, and the constant need to prove ROI to myself. Creative professionals are notoriously bad at business management (myself included!). We're great at the creative work but struggle with the "boring" stuff like tracking profitability, managing client relationships, and understanding which projects actually make us money. Most of us end up working harder, not smarter. I started with a simple project tracker, but quickly realized that wasn't enough. Through countless iterations and feedback from fellow creatives, the tracker evolved into a complete business intelligence system. The breakthrough came when I added the project alerts feature - suddenly, the spreadsheet wasn't just recording data, it was actively helping me make better business decisions. The dashboard became the game-changer. Instead of dreading monthly reviews, I actually look forward to seeing my visual progress and getting actionable insights. This isn't just another template - it's a complete business management philosophy built specifically for creative minds. It grows with you, from solo freelancer to small agency, and actually makes financial management feel less overwhelming. Would love to hear from other creatives - what's your biggest business management pain point? 🤔
