Free Cash book as Excel Template

This cash book has similar functions to the already published household book, but it is developed for entrepreneurs and/or companies in which cash book management is a necessary procedure.

This is the point why I have created this Excel template. The cash book is free and can be downloaded in the section “Download”.

It sums expenditures and income, determines current cash balance and even takes into account opening cash balance.

Inspired by a comment, I have created the second cash book template. This takes into account VAT rates (of 7%, 19% or 0% – these can be changed to any other value). You can find it at the end of the article.

How does the Template work?

It’s simple:

  • Download the Excel file and open it with MS Excel
  • Change the month and the year
  • Fill out the cell with the value of your opening balance
  • List all expenses and income in the rows below
  • The rest calculates automatically

Hint: Copy the worksheet for the upcoming month and name it accordingly.

And the Cash Book with VAT?

If you choose the cash book with VAT, you have to fill out the cells for the VAT on your sold and bought items. You can change the columns-value to any other one. But keep in mind, the values don’t calculate automatically.

Here you find the template with or without VAT in Excel file format (.xlsx).

Keep in Mind: Tax Law

In accordance with the legislation, cash book management in Excel is not authorized or is not recognized as such. The cash book does not meet the “principles of proper accounting” and the company cannot be estimated on that account. The following also concerns associations, small businesses and freelancers.

Those who manage this book in Excel should print it and enter all the numbers by hand. Since then, there should be nothing to complain about.

Revision security: Whether digital or analog – your cash book must be kept in a way that it cannot be changed afterward. For this reason, Excel cash books are hardly within the range of what is allowed. Books in paper form must be free of blank lines, while entries may not be entered with a pencil or similar writing instruments.
