cash book

Financial transaction log

A cash book is a financial record where a business logs all cash transactions—money received and money paid out.

It functions as both a journal and a ledger, tracking the flow of cash in real time.

Small businesses often use a cash book as their primary accounting record: The accountant reconciled the cash book with the bank statement.
