Quick—Before you hide your financial records again
Now that you've (hopefully) completed the annual obstacle course of tax time, see if you can make next year's financials easier to wrangle with any of the free financial planning and analysis templates at Office Online.
Right now the Templates home page has all the money-management templates on display. That means everything from calculators tailored to 401K, mortgage, credit card payoff, savings, closing costs, and net worth assessments to retirement planners, household budgets, asset depreciation schedules, and more. 
If you run a business you'll also find company planning and analytical tools--SWOTs, business models, product profitability forecasters, etc.
And finally, you’ll also find templates for letters such as a dispute of a duplicate credit charge.
Fortunately, most of these templates are created by outside experts, such as Vertex 42, BearingPoint, and Intellectual Arbitrage Group. If you saw the pile of receipts and statements I haul out of my desk every tax season you'd know why it's a good thing none of those companies turn to me.
If there are more ways we can help you manage during such financially shaky times, let us know. You can leave comments here or at the templates team blog.
