Keeping track of small cash transactions is essential for accurate bookkeeping, yet many businesses struggle to manage petty cash effectively. This printable petty cash log provides a clear structure with columns for the date, description, cash received, cash spent, and a running balance. There are three page formats included: a standard centred margin and two wide‑margin pages that face each other, making it easy to file in binders. Both A4 and US Letter sizes are available, allowing you to print on whichever paper you have on hand.

By recording all cash in and cash out, you’ll create a reliable audit trail that helps reconcile your accounts and reduces the chance of “mystery” cash leakage. The simple design encourages consistent use because each entry takes only a few moments. You can print a new log for each month or department, and file completed sheets for tax preparation or internal audits. Small business owners appreciate that the log is an affordable alternative to buying petty cash books and doesn’t require learning new software.

This log is also useful for households, clubs, or non‑profit groups that handle cash. The running balance column ensures that you always know how much is in the petty cash fund, and the totals at the end of each page help confirm that the physical cash matches your records. The digital download lets you start using the log immediately, and you can print as many copies as needed without additional cost. With this simple tool, you can maintain control over small expenditures and ensure that your finances stay transparent and trustworthy.
