For Treasurers
How does Pass the Hat help me run a cash count?
See what's pending collection
Not every secretary hands cash over the same night. A running list, grouped by secretary and meeting, shows exactly what's still waiting to be collected — so nothing quietly gets forgotten between meetings.
Cash to Collect

Tuesday NightKnow the target before you count
Every secretary entry already collected is added up for you, minus anything already spent at the meeting — so you have a real expected total before a single coin gets counted.
Calculated from every secretary entry
Type the real number, see the gap instantly
Enter what you actually counted and the variance shows immediately — green if it matches, amber for a small gap, red for anything bigger. Every variance is logged, so there's a record even when the numbers don't quite line up.

One confirm settles the books
Confirming the count locks in the numbers and marks any at-meeting expenses as paid in the same step — no separate cleanup pass afterward. It's disabled until you've entered an actual and while you're offline, so a half-done count can't be confirmed by accident. And if you ever need to undo one, here's how that works.

Variances are logged for your records
Digital transfers, confirmed on their own
A Venmo or Bizum contribution doesn't need counting — it needs confirming that it actually arrived. Those sit in their own list, separate from the physical cash count.
