Log every movement, however small
Every small unlogged expense creates a gap at end of day. When sales and expenses are logged as they happen, the balance becomes an accurate mirror of the drawer.
Make closing a number, not a guess
Reconciling the system against the drawer at day's end turns closing from worry into quick confirmation. Any gap becomes a signal you chase at once, not a monthly surprise.
Separate sales from net
- Sales alone do not mean profit.
- Subtract daily expenses to see the real net.
- Review unusual movements as they happen.
Tie the drawer to the system
When the drawer is part of the sales system itself, not a separate notebook, the gap between what you sold and what is in the drawer disappears. Cash Dukkan does this automatically.
