Free cashbook Excel template for associations & foundations
Last updated: 28 July 2026 · Version 2026.1
In short
Is an Excel cashbook enough for our organisation?
For a small organisation with a few dozen entries per year: yes, provided you book consistently. As transactions grow, an online cashbook with bank import and receipt attachments quickly becomes more reliable.
This free cashbook was built for treasurers of associations and foundations — not a freelancer template you have to rebuild first. Twelve monthly tabs, dropdown lists with 57 recognisable categories and an annual overview that keeps itself up to date.
The categories are identical to those of the Aqlemy online cashbook: start in Excel today and migrate later without re-categorising.
