Cash handling errors compound quietly. A $4 shortage becomes a $40 problem by the end of the week — and nobody can trace it because nobody wrote it down the same way twice.

The Cash Close-Out Template gives you a structured denomination-by-denomination count that totals automatically, then calculates your variance against the expected drawer amount.

It includes a four-step close sequence, a denomination breakdown (bills and coins), a reconciliation section that flags shortages in red and matches in green, and a sign-off block so the next opener knows exactly what state the drawer was in.

Every field has an example pre-filled so your team knows exactly what to write. Takes 12 minutes. Works in Excel or Google Sheets.

What's included: 1 Excel file (.xlsx), denomination count table with auto-totals, reconciliation panel (auto-calculates variance), colour-coded match/discrepancy result, shift sign-off block, 4-step close sequence, Google Sheets compatible.
