Client Tracker Template (Printable PDF & GoodNotes)

A client tracker with five columns: client, project, deadline, fee and status. Freelancers and small businesses can see every active job on one page, with what's due when and what it's worth.

Client Tracker template preview, shown on iPad

Shown for iPad in the Classic Navy theme. Printable downloads use white paper (there's a dark mode preview below); the e-ink version is black and white.

What's on it

One page, ready to fill in.

  • A table with columns for client, project, deadline, fee and status
  • Undated, so you can print or duplicate it as often as you need

Who it's for

Freelance designers, writers, photographers, virtual assistants and consultants, small agencies, and anyone with several clients and deadlines at once. It also suits people with a side business, like cake makers, tutors or dog walkers, who want to see their bookings and income without setting up software.

How to use it

Getting the most from a client tracker.

  1. One row per project

    If a client has several projects, give each its own row. Deadlines and fees stay clear.

  2. Use a short status list

    Quote sent, booked, in progress, delivered, invoiced, paid. The status column tells you what to do next with each client.

  3. Sort by deadline weekly

    Each Monday, number the rows by deadline. It's a two-minute way to plan the week's work.

  4. Track when you get paid

    Delivered isn't paid. Keep a row until the money arrives, then tick it and copy the fee into your income and expense tracker.

  5. Look back each quarter

    Which clients paid most, on time, with repeat work? The tracker answers that at a glance.

  6. Note how each client found you

    Add the source in brackets after the client name: referral, website, social, repeat. After a year you'll know where your best clients come from.
