Cash control

How do you keep track of cash sales?

Cash sales require intentional tracking because there’s no automatic record.

A common, reliable system

It can help to maintain a basic cash log each event: note the starting amount for change, record cash sales as they happen (or log totals periodically), then count cash at the end and subtract the starting float to find the day's take.

Best practices

  • Consider keeping cash sales logged separately from card sales.
  • Regularly deposit cash into your business account.
  • Avoid spending cash before it’s recorded so totals stay clear.

Regular deposits and saved receipts can keep your records accurate. A repeatable routine matters more than the exact method.
