Firstly, the disclaimer. You are showing as a student without a practice license. If this is the case then you can't take on clients so don't go any further.
If this is a mistake and you are allowed to practice then, no, you don't need special software but it can help. excel is fine, but you need to weigh up the time it will take to create a spreadsheet or spreadsheets to the cost of some software like VT Transaction+. You may find that the software is cheaper in the long run.
