About The Self-Employed Shop
Practical spreadsheet tools for people who run their own businesses.
Practical tools built from real experience
The Self-Employed Shop creates spreadsheet systems for freelancers, service providers, online sellers, event professionals, and other self-employed business owners.
The goal is simple: to make everyday business tasks easier to organize without expensive software, complicated setup, or monthly subscriptions.
Each workbook is built around a real workflow, with connected sheets, formulas, dropdowns, dashboards, and clear instructions already in place.
Created by someone who understands independent work
The shop was founded by a retired Florida attorney with 27 years in practice who has also run businesses and taught math and with decades of experience managing the practical side of professional work.
That experience shapes the legal-practice products directly, while the broader collection is designed around the same principles: clear organization, practical systems, and tools that help people work more efficiently.
