    I just scan all of the invoices/receipts and save them with a unique reference. Then put them in a spreadsheet with "what, amount, when, and the unique reference" etc. Takes around 20 minutes a month at the most, and no messy paperwork sort through. Makes it very easy to pull up any transaction for future reference withough having to sort through endless receipts.

    I'm recording everything on a google docs spreadsheet (free version), you can download it as libra office excel or pdf, I have no idea what I am doing but I understand that records of event or actions are important, I have a weekly "tally" with all my expenses and sales made, wish it was simple!
