FAQ
Transfers and account balances
How transfers and account balances should be recorded.
Last updated Apr 23, 2026
Transfers and account balances
Transfers move money between accounts you track.
Record transfers
Use transfer transaction types when money leaves one tracked account and enters another. This avoids counting the movement as income or spending.
Initial balances
Initial balance is the starting point for an account. Transactions after that point explain changes from the baseline.
Consolidation entries
Use balance adjustments only when you need to reconcile an account to reality and cannot represent the difference with normal transactions.
