no 2017 SJD spreadsheet? any alternatives?

[Antimus]

Not surprising if they've stopped putting it in their free downloads, really going to cause me problems though, anyone know of a decent alternative?

Thanks,

This. You shouldn't be running your business of a free spreadsheet IMO

I have an accountant to do tax returns and end of year, etc. but I like to manage my own finances as much as I can. I can use one of the paid services but do we really need to hash out the argument about apps vs spreadsheets again?
I prefer spreadsheets, end of conversation, either stay on topic or please join another discussion.
Thanks!

Ohh someone is a bit touchy. You come one free forum, ask for some advice that's questionable and then throw the teddy out if the cot. Way to go you.

You asked for a reasonable alternative and you got one. How is that not on topic?

It's not exactly difficult to create your own spreadsheets for basic book-keeping. I did this when I started contracting 4 years ago and they've been fine. Occasionally need the odd tweak. I doubt it took more than a couple of hours to get them working properly.

A spin-off benefit for me was it gave me a good insight into the accounting fundamentals of running a small business.

I apologise, when I said alternative I meant alternative spreadsheet. I have the option of sending all my receipts to my accountant to do the leg work but I like how I can just open the spreadsheet and see everything I need, without paying £20/month to another company to store basically the same information online.

Might do, looks like he's gone way beyond the call of duty, I suppose there are always extremes in every case. Thanks
