Recommended Structure
Why this structure works
Legal, financial, marketing, and operational records have very different retention and access needs, so separating them at the top level makes permissions and archiving straightforward. Nesting financial records by year (`2024/Q1_Statements.xlsx`) means tax time is a matter of opening one folder rather than filtering by filename.
Small Project Adaptation
Sole trader or freelancer? Merge `01-Legal_Documents` into a single `Admin` folder and keep the year-based financial structure, which is the part that saves real time.
Large Scale Scaling
As you add staff, split `03-Marketing` and operations into department folders and set permissions at that level, so the folder boundary and the access boundary stay the same thing.
