When you get paid in cash, nothing should be different other than the initial bank account that the funds are deposited into from the invoice payment or sales receipt.  Create a bank account in QBO called "Petty Cash" or "Cash On Hand".  When you receive the cash, deposit it into that account just like you would deposit a check to Undeposited Funds or your bank account.  If you end up depositing the cash into a bank account, make a bank deposit and select "Petty Cash" or "Cash On Hand" as the Category for the deposit.
