This Excel Bookkeeping Method Takes You Back to the Stone Age

Running your business with Excel spreadsheets and paper receipts isn’t efficiency, it’s prehistory. Discover why outdated bookkeeping is the modern Stone Age.
Caveman doing his Excel bookkeeping

ATLANTA, GA — A strange trend is keeping many businesses stuck in the past. Owners are still handling their books with paper receipts and Excel spreadsheets. Experts call it “Stone Age bookkeeping.”

“I spend three hours a week moving numbers around,” said a café owner. “It feels like I am chiseling expenses into stone tablets. My backup plan is a floppy disk.”

Archaeologists have even joined the debate. “The Stone Age was about tools and survival,” explained Dr. Kelly Hammerstein of the University of Chicago. “Excel bookkeeping is about neither. It is the opposite of progress.”

One IT worker added, “We once had a caveman in the office using Excel 97. Honestly, he was faster than some actual clients.”

The conclusion is clear. Paper receipts and Excel spreadsheets are holding businesses back.

“SparkReceipt is the leap forward,” Dr. Hammerstein said. “It is fire for bookkeeping.”
