Default can you calculate sheet to 2 decimal places

My wife and I set up a fantastic invoice for her very fussy boss, all
invoicing was previously in word and completely manual.

having been shown the invoice which is displayed to 2 Decimal places he's
arguing that it's innacurate as with a calculater its $0.01 out. I have
explained to my now stressed wife that its because excel calculates to 15
places and although the shown figure is rounded up, the actual figure still
remains behind the scenes as is.

Can you get excel to calculate everything to 2 dp?
