Accounting spreadsheet template

[Zach Wittmann]

Hey BP community, this is my first post. I'm just starting to get my feet wet with real estate investing. My brother and I (who both have history of doing multiple live-in flips over the years) recently consulted with an attorney, started an LLC, purchased the BP state-specific forms, and have purchased one single-family rental thus far and are closing on a second singe family property that will be a flip later this month. We are located in Illinois, but very close to St. Louis, MO.

I have a question that I was hoping the BP community could help with: I was wondering if anybody could point me in the direction of a nice, clean, and easy to use accounting spreadsheet template (or something of that nature) for real estate investing book-keeping? I have looked at the "spreadsheets" section of Bigger Pockets, but there is so much there that I thought it might be easier to ask BP members directly if there are ones that you have used successfully and could recommend? We have an accountant that will be doing our taxes, but I am in charge of keeping the books until tax time, and I want to start off on the right foot and keep my accounting very organized.

Thanks so much everyone!
