Use case
Keep a group kitty, wherever the money is.
The cash box is with the coach, the bank account with the treasurer and the bar takings with whoever closed up. Penny Monet records who holds what, and adds it up to one group balance.


The questions
What a kitty raises
Approach
How to set it up
- 1
Record the opening balance
Record what each holder has at the start, as a separate registration with a reason. It isn’t income to be split.
- 2
Record money in and out per holder
Choose who received or paid the money, so it lands in the right pot.
- 3
Transfer when cash changes hands
The coach hands the cash box takings to the treasurer: one transfer, the group balance stays the same.
