Can I sign documents in Cash Workspace?

No. Cash Workspace does not offer e-signature. It stores and organizes documents so you can find the right version quickly; signing happens wherever you already handle it.

Does it review my contracts?

No. Cash Workspace does not review contracts or provide legal advice. It keeps your agreements filed and easy to find so the right version is always at hand.

How should I name my documents?

Name each document with its date and a short description so the current version is obvious at a glance and older versions can be archived rather than deleted.

How do I keep document versions straight?

Put the date in the file name and archive superseded versions into a clearly-labelled “previous” folder, so the live version is never in doubt.

business document organization

Business document organization for proofreaders

Contracts, agreements, statements, and receipts live in different apps and inboxes, so finding the right version of the right document takes far too long. For proofreaders, documents like Client service agreements and contracts, Project briefs and style sheets, and Signed estimates and quotes end up spread across apps and inboxes. Cash Workspace gives you one place to record each item, attach its file, and keep it where you can find it. It is free.

The problem

Why proofreaders lose track

Contracts, agreements, statements, and receipts live in different apps and inboxes, so finding the right version of the right document takes far too long.

Filing every tool subscription under one 'software' heading so the style-guide subscription, consistency checker, and grammar tool blur together.
Not recording the per-word versus per-hour basis on an invoice, so there's no way to match what was billed against the manuscript.
Leaving payment-platform fees inside the received amount, so deposits never match invoiced totals.

The workflow

How proofreaders keep it organized

A simple, repeatable way to document organization records without special software.

1
Decide the folders your documents fall into
Set up a small, stable set of folders that match the documents proofreaders actually keeps — Client service agreements and contracts, Project briefs and style sheets, and Signed estimates and quotes.
2
File each document where it belongs
Put every document into one folder with a clear name, so there is one obvious home for each thing rather than five maybes.
3
Keep versions and dates straight
Name documents with a date so the current version is obvious and superseded ones can be archived, not deleted.
4
Review the structure each quarter
Every few months, clear the inbox of stragglers and confirm the folders still match how the business works.

Record structure

What each record holds

The fields that make a document organization record complete and findable.

Document type: Contract, statement, agreement, receipt, or record — the top-level sort.
Counterparty: The client, vendor, or institution the document relates to.
Date: The document's date, used in the name so the current version is obvious.
Folder: The single folder that document lives in.
Note: Anything you will want to remember when you find it again.
Project / manuscript: The manuscript or job the record ties to, so records group by client work.
Word count: The length of the piece behind the fee, so per-word invoices match against the manuscript.
Billing basis: Per-word, per-page, or per-hour, recorded so an invoice matches how it was quoted.

Example setup

An example structure

One way proofreaders can lay this out in Cash Workspace.

Contracts & agreements

Client service agreements and contracts and Confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, named with dates.

Statements & records

Bank/card statements and supporting records, filed by period.

By counterparty

A subfolder per client or vendor where the volume warrants it.

Common mistakes

Common mistakes to avoid

Filing every tool subscription under one 'software' heading so the style-guide subscription, consistency checker, and grammar tool blur together.
Not recording the per-word versus per-hour basis on an invoice, so there's no way to match what was billed against the manuscript.
Leaving payment-platform fees inside the received amount, so deposits never match invoiced totals.
Storing style sheets and briefs in email instead of the project folder, so the terms behind an old invoice are lost.
Recording the same annual membership as a fresh expense every month by mistake, inflating the category.
Keeping five half-versions of the same document with no clear current one.

How it helps

How Cash Workspace helps

Record it, don’t re-key it

Enter each item once — date, vendor, amount, category — and attach the file to that record. No bank sync, no receipt-reading; the record is deliberate and yours.

One consistent structure

The same categories and folders every month, so proofreaders always know where a record goes and where to find it later.

Find the right version fast

Documents filed by type and dated in the name, so the current version is obvious and nothing is lost to an inbox.
