How to Set Up a Simple Filing System for Receipts and Invoices

Keeping track of receipts and invoices is crucial for any business. Without an organized system, important documents can get lost, making tax time stressful and financial tracking difficult. Fortunately, setting up a simple filing system doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s how you can do it in a few easy steps.

1. Choose a Storage Method

Decide whether you prefer a physical, digital, or hybrid filing system.

Physical System: Use labeled folders, binders, or an expanding file organizer.

Digital System: Scan receipts and invoices and store them in cloud services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or a dedicated accounting software.

Hybrid System: Keep physical copies for tax purposes while maintaining a digital backup.

2. Categorize Your Documents

Sorting receipts and invoices into categories will make retrieval easier.

By Date: Organize documents by month and year.

By Vendor: Keep separate files for each supplier or service provider.

By Expense Type: Group receipts by categories such as office supplies, travel, utilities, and client expenses.

3. Use Consistent Naming Conventions

For digital storage, use a clear and uniform naming system. Example:

YYYY-MM-DD_Vendor_Amount (e.g., 2025-02-10_OfficeDepot_45.00)

4. Set a Regular Filing Schedule

Schedule time each week or month to file receipts and invoices. This habit will prevent document buildup and ensure you stay on top of financial records.

5. Utilize Accounting Software

Many accounting tools, such as QuickBooks, Wave, and FreshBooks, allow you to upload and categorize receipts directly. This automates part of the filing process and ensures everything is stored in one place.

Final Thoughts

An organized filing system for receipts and invoices can save time, reduce stress, and improve financial clarity. Whether you choose a physical, digital, or hybrid approach, consistency is key. Start setting up your system today and enjoy the benefits of hassle-free record-keeping!

Art Business Organization 2025: Enterprise-Grade Systems for Creative Success

so here's the thing: remember when we were all just vibing with our art supplies, thinking business organization was just for those corporate suits? yeah, same 😅

but plot twist: after spending way too many nights trying to find that ONE CLIENT EMAIL from three months ago, we discovered something kind of amazing? those fancy enterprise systems the big companies use? they actually work for us creative souls too!

like, we're not saying you need to go full corporate (ew), but we've been testing out some of these systems and honestly?? it's kind of life-changing?

here's what we learned:

↳ you can start with just a spreadsheet (we did!)

↳ your future self will THANK YOU for documenting everything

↳ backing up files is literally the best form of self-care

↳ you don't have to do everything at once

we basically took all those intimidating enterprise tools and translated them into artist-speak. because nobody needs another 50-page manual about workflow optimization (we're looking at you, corporate training videos 👀)

want to see how we're managing our creative chaos in 2025? we wrote about our whole journey - mistakes, victories, and all the messy parts in between. because we're all figuring this out together, right?

p.s. if anyone tells you that being organized kills creativity, we respectfully disagree. having systems actually gives your brain more space to make cool stuff! who knew?

Week 7 of My 12-Week Year

This week I managed to keep up my normal routine, but I also found ways to move beyond my routine. On Sunday, I had a great conversation with my daughter about her writing. She’s started writing a murder mystery who-done-it role-playing game where they try to figure out who-done-it and any of them could be the murderer. She’s enjoyed developing the characters.  I suggested that she create this…

Because of your last post about Murder Drones, I decided to try and watch it. Thank you so much for making me discover this amazing show! I'd like to see your other drawings about MD but I can't seem to find the tag when I search for it 😭

im new to the fandom so... have a bundle of md wips, bye.

I'm still trying to go around their design and how I'll draw them generally. Fun.

Art warmup! After working on some digital artworks, it’s good to go back to my roots in traditional media.

And look at this beautiful winter sunrise as a backdrop!

Now first I have to wait for the masking fluid (the blue spots) to dry, before adding the first washes of watercolour. Which gives me plenty of time to make more tea. :)

"I'm the one who left. If it's anyone's fault—"

Had a dream that I got hired to deal with a haunting and I was like you know my blog is a bit right, I don't actually believe in ghosts unfortunately, but it turns out the place was actually haunted and the ghost was pretty pissed off at me for sticking my nose into it. So I went ok, they hired me for *my* skillset, so I started looking shit up and eventually found one oldish book on local urban legends speculating that the ghost was a woman who lived on the property when it used to be a low income lodging house who lost a baby and buried it in the yard, so I dug around and found the remains, which were in an area that the place I was hired by (I think it was a branch of NARA? which is weird, why would they need to hire an outside researcher) was planning to build a new addition on. So by the end of the dream I was going 'yeah ok I have two proposals, one you put these remains in a silver box, rebury it, keep on with your construction, and hope that'll do it, OR you add a covered walkway to your building plans, connect the old building to the new building, and have a nice little courtyard area with a plaque where we rebury the remains, maybe that would make her happy' except I was hired to do research at a history and records institution so I couldn't just write that report based on Vibes, so the rest of the dream was consumed with me trying to figure out which local newspapers would help me confirm the ID and make my case better than one speculative sentence in a trashy book. So yeah. Dreamed I was a ghostbuster but the real core of the dream was the challenges of public history when working with regular people who don't make the historical record very often. Wish you well, dead lady. I was really trying to get you that courtyard.

Week One Evaluation of My First 12-week Year

What a Big Week this has been! (Get pictures) In the past few weeks, I have worked hard to get as much publicity for my latest book Oregon County, Wild and Scenic within my county. The book is about the county so because the eclipse is happening this afternoon, the local towns have prepared for the influx of visitors to Oregon County. I had strategically placed books in various venues around…
