volunteer-treasurer-basics
Be a club or association treasurer without being an accountant — the two-column cashbook that's genuinely enough, monthly reconciliation in 20 minutes, the treasurer's report members actually understand, float and subs handling, and the controls that protect YOU from suspicion. Use when a volunteer says 'I just became treasurer', 'how do I do the accounts for our club', 'what goes in the treasurer's report', or inherits a shoebox of receipts. Produces the cashbook setup, a monthly routine, the report template, and the two-signature control list.

This skill sets that up in an afternoon, and is blunt about the line where "basics" ends and a real accountant or the charity regulator's rules begin. ## What This Skill Produces - A **cashbook setup**: the columns (date, what, who, in, out, balance, category), category list sized to the org (6–10, not 40), and where it lives (a spreadsheet is fine; consistency beats software) - The **monthly routine**: 20 minutes — enter, reconcile against the bank, chase the missing receipts, file - A **treasurer's report template** members understand: money in, money out, balance, vs-this-time-last-year, and the one-line health sentence - The **controls list**: dual authorization on payments, no-cash-alone rule, receipts threshold, subs tracking — the protect-the-treasurer set - **Escal

From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
