Cash book – free printable template (PDF)

One A4 page a month: opening balance, every cash in and cash out with its receipt number, a running balance and totals at month end. No sign-up, no email.

What's on the form

• Business name, month and opening balance (brought forward)
• Rows for date, receipt no., description, cash in, cash out and balance
• Total in, total out, closing balance, signature

What works in practice

• Fill it in every day. A cash book rebuilt at the end of the month rarely balances.
• Every line needs a receipt. Number your receipts and write the number in the book.
• The balance can never go below zero. A negative cash balance almost always means a missed takings entry. This template is not tax advice.
