Customising my Income and Expenses categories

Understanding Cash Flow Entries

Your Income section records all receipts (money you receive) - by cheque, cash, credit card, or direct transfer. You will record the details of each receipt, allocate them to a column that indicates what the receipt was for and then record what you did with it – deposit it in the bank or not.

Your Expenses section records all payments - by cheque, by cash or directly from the bank. Similar to Income, you need to record the details of your payments, allocate them to a relevant column and choose how it was paid.

What are Cash Flow Categories used for?

Customising your Income and Expenses categories allows your to add, change or remove the options you have when recording the details of what a receipt or a payment was for.

You may want to add your own categories or your Accountant may also ask you to add certain categories to your Income or Expenses.
