Petty Cash Form Template
Track petty cash requests and reimbursements with a consistent digital process instead of paper slips.
Petty cash management is one of those processes that seems simple until there are 30 paper slips in a drawer, no clear record of who approved what, and a reconciliation that takes hours. Manual processes create gaps: missing receipts, undocumented expenses, and approvals that happened verbally and were never recorded.
A digital petty cash request form standardizes what gets captured: the requester's name and department, the amount needed, the purpose of the expense, and any supporting documentation. Managers can receive submissions via email notification and approve or request more information before funds are disbursed. Every submission creates a timestamped record that makes month-end reconciliation far faster than sorting through paper.
Customize the form for your organization's categories and approval workflow, and connect it to your accounting tool or a shared spreadsheet through Typeform's integrations or Zapier.
It's a form used to request or document small cash expenditures from a petty cash fund. It records the requester, the amount, the purpose, and any supporting documentation needed for accounting and reconciliation.
Without a consistent process, petty cash becomes a black box. Digital forms create a clear, timestamped record of every request, making reconciliation faster, reducing the chance of undocumented expenditures, and making it easier to identify patterns in small-expense categories.
A complete petty cash request form should capture:
- Requester's name, department, and employee ID
- Date of the request
- Amount requested
- Expense category (office supplies, travel, client entertainment, etc.)
- Description of the expense and business purpose
- Receipt or documentation upload
Use Typeform's email notification settings to send each submission to the appropriate approver automatically. For a more structured workflow, connect Typeform to a tool like Slack or Microsoft Teams through Zapier so approvers receive a notification with the submission details and can approve or flag the request without logging into Typeform.
That depends on your organization's size and spending patterns, but most small to mid-size organizations keep petty cash funds between $100 and $500 and replenish them when they fall below a threshold. Your petty cash form data over time will show average spend per period, which helps you set a fund size that doesn't require constant replenishment or leave cash sitting idle.

Bank Reference Form
A reference request faxed to a bank branch and left sitting in a queue for weeks isn't the kind of turnaround a landlord or business can wait on. Collect the applicant's signed authorization and the specific details you need confirmed before the request even reaches the bank, so a decision isn't stuck behind a letter that hasn't come back yet.

Bar Inventory Form
A bottle count eyeballed at the end of a shift and scrawled on a paper sheet doesn't hold up against a pour cost report that says something doesn't add up. Collect what your bar actually needs, item, count, and variance, on a schedule you can actually compare week to week.

Equipment Inventory Form
Equipment that leaves a storage room in someone's arms, with no note about where it went, doesn't show up again until someone needs it and can't find it. Collect what your team actually needs, item details, condition, and who's got it, every time something moves.

Nationality Verification Form
A self-certification buried in a stack of new account paperwork isn't the kind of record a compliance team can rely on for a regulatory filing. Collect nationality, tax residency, and a signed declaration before an account opens, so compliance isn't chasing down a customer's citizenship status after the fact.

Maintenance Agreement Form
A maintenance plan agreed to over the phone isn't a contract your service team can actually work from, especially when nobody's sure whether the twice-a-year tune-up was part of the deal. Collect the equipment covered, service frequency, and a signed agreement before the first visit, so your team isn't guessing at scope once they're on-site.
