Who this template is for

Petty Cash Request is built for advisers, brokers and finance teams who need to collect structured financial detail with a clear audit trail.

  • Advisers, brokers and finance teams working in finance, insurance & tax.
  • Teams who need to collect structured financial detail with a clear audit trail without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing incomplete applications that fail compliance review with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are clients and applicants — the form asks them 14 questions across 1 screen.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of incomplete applications that fail compliance review and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 10 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
  • It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
  • Conditional logic hides 6 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Questions about this shared form

How is this different from an expense claim?

An expense claim reimburses someone's own money through payroll or accounts. This draws from a physical cash float.

Can it be used for an advance?

Yes, and choosing advance makes a return date for the change and receipts mandatory.

What if a receipt is genuinely lost?

Say so on the form. A dated explanation is far more defensible at audit than a silent gap.

Does it reconcile the float?

It records the balance after each payment, which is what your reconciliation is then checked against.

Is the Petty Cash Request template free to use?

Yes. You can preview and test Petty Cash Request on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.

What does the Petty Cash Request template ask for?

It asks 14 questions across 1 page, 10 of which are required. Every question is listed in full further down this page, and each one can be renamed, reordered, made optional or deleted after you copy the template.
