CTS Guard for Google Sheets

Review client spreadsheets before they enter your workflow

Clients send whatever their system exports. CTS Guard checks the tab in Google Sheets and shows the formatting problems that would slow down the month.

Install CTS Guard for Google Sheets

Installs from the Google Workspace Marketplace. Runs inside Google Sheets, nothing to upload.

Available on the Google Workspace Marketplace

Every client formats their data differently

One client exports from a POS, another types entries by hand, another sends a bank download with three header rows. The cleanup work happens before any real bookkeeping starts.

  • Duplicate transaction rows from overlapping exports
  • Amounts and dates stored as text
  • Blank rows and totals sitting inside the data range
  • Vendor names entered inconsistently across months

What CTS Guard checks

  • Duplicate rows, exact and near matches
  • Dates and numbers stored as text
  • Whitespace inside cells
  • Inconsistent vendor and description casing
  • Empty rows and columns
  • Header structure that blocks an import template

How it works inside Google Sheets

  1. 1Open your sheet in Google Sheets and launch CTS Guard from the Extensions menu.
  2. 2Run a check. Guard scans the tab and shows what looks off, before anything changes.
  3. 3Apply the fixes you want. Your original values stay in the sheet until you approve a change.

Sheets bookkeeping teams already have

  • Client transaction exports

    Overlapping date ranges producing duplicate rows.

  • Expense and receipt trackers

    Amounts typed as text, inconsistent categories.

  • Bank download sheets

    Multiple header rows and trailing totals.

  • Vendor and payee lists

    Same vendor recorded several ways.

Safe to send

Send a clean file back to the client or forward it internally without a second review pass.

Import ready
