Cash up consistently and record the difference every day, which is how a problem gets noticed in a week rather than in an audit.
Invoicing and money · IM-06
A free printable sales log — date, reference, customer, what was sold, amount, when it was paid and how.

The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
Keep one line per sale as it happens, with the payment recorded beside it, so the month adds up from something written on the day.
Market and craft sellers, small shops, online sellers, and any business small enough to record sales by hand.
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: A running record of what was sold, to whom, for how much, and whether it has been paid for.
Record the sale and the payment. One line per sale, filled in on the day. The paid column is what turns a sales record into something you can chase from.

Cash up consistently and record the difference every day, which is how a problem gets noticed in a week rather than in an audit.
See at a glance which invoices are out, which are late and when each was last chased, which is the information that actually gets invoices paid.
Count stock area by area and see the variance beside the count, so a stock take produces a number you can act on rather than a vague reassurance.
The same subject, with a version you can fill in on screen.
Each credit note number and the invoice it reduces.
Each sale or batch of sales, with the product and platform.
What each event took, in cash and by card.
What each of your main clients brought in, month by month.
Every sheet, binder, game and puzzle on Upkeep Papers is free to download, with no email and no account. Making them is not free: each one takes days of research, design and checking, and the site costs money to run. If something here saved you time, you can buy us a coffee. It is entirely optional: nothing is locked, and nothing changes if you don’t.
Opens PayPal in a new tab. Any amount, and nothing changes if you would rather not.
