What Is a Cash Count Sheet?

A cash count sheet lists every bill and coin, from the largest to the smallest, with how many you counted and their total. Taking away the starting cash and comparing the result with the sales report shows whether the drawer is over or short, and the signatures show who counted and who checked.

Which Cash Sheet Should You Use?

• Cash count sheet: every note and coin with count and total, checks, starting cash, cash sales and over or short, with two signatures.
• Cash drawer count sheet: opening and closing counts side by side for one shift, with the cash taken and over or short.
• Petty cash log: date, receipt number, paid to, what for, money out and in, and a running balance from the float.
• Bank reconciliation: outstanding checks, deposits in transit, bank fees and interest, to match your books to the bank statement.
• Black and white versions: every template also comes in a printer-friendly black and white version with grey headings, to save ink.

How to Count a Cash Drawer

1. Count each bill and coin and write how many in the Count column.
2. Multiply each count by its value and add the totals.
3. Add any checks, then take away the starting cash.
4. Compare the result with the cash sales on the register report and write the difference as over or short.

Count twice, or ask a second person to count, before you sign. Keep the starting cash the same every day so differences stand out. The A4 versions list UK notes and coins, from £50 to 1p, and use the word cheques.
