Cash closing can be a problematic process in any business.
However, following a series of guidelines and tips that we bring you, it will be much easier to do it without fail.
Because cash closing can have a bigger impact on your accounting than you think.

Let’s start at the beginning: what is cash closing?

Cash closing is a process used in stores and businesses to determine the cash flow (cash in and cash out) at the cash register.
It is crucial for businesses that use cash and is used to compare the cash on hand with the reported sales values.

For proper cash control, this closing should be done at least once a day and whenever there is a change of employee or shift at the cash register.
It may seem simple, but problems can arise, such as the amounts not adding up.
That’s why today we bring you these tips to make it simple.

Guidelines and tips for closing the cash register of a fitness center

1. Start the day with a fixed amount of money: Before opening to the public and customers arrive, check the amount of money in the cash register.

2. Do not make payments with cash from the till: Do not take cash out of the till to settle accounts, for example with suppliers.
In order not to affect the cash closing, make these payments with money outside the cash register.

3. Avoid the risks of overflow: The risks of overflow are, for example, loans between cashiers, giving the wrong change or theft.
To avoid these risks at closing time, it is advisable to monitor the cashier area with a video surveillance system.

4. Delegate this responsibility to specific employees: If the cash tasks are always performed by the same employees, they will be more specialized than the rest in cash movements and their control.
Thus, it will be easier to avoid errors in the closing process.

5. Keep a record of the day’s activities: This record will facilitate the task of cash closing and the prevention of errors in its execution.
The register should contain:

  • The date and times and start and end of the cash closing.
  • The amount of bills and coins in the cash register.
  • The cash equivalent of checks, bonds or coupons that may be on hand.
  • Attach receipts and vouchers for the day’s cash receipts and disbursements.
  • Check that everything is correct.
