Just became treasurer of a playgroup - how on earth should I tidy up invoicing system just using excel?

Just became treasurer of a small but very busy playgroup. There are about 50 kids and at the moment it is all done piecemeal...took me about ten hours to organise the first month of invoices, going through each one and figuring it all out, putting in Excel snd then creating a pdf to email parents. Is there a simple way of organising this, so that i just input info and result in a pdf for each parent? I cant buy a program as funds are tight. Pivot tables or vlookups ring a very distant bell! Thanks!

There are various free accounts program available Turbocash, Gnucash and BeanBalance for example. Turbocash is the one I have used in the past and it is pretty good.
