I bought something with cash, how do I record this?

You can record your cash purchases manually within the Transactions menu to ensure your business records remain accurate.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Navigate to the Transactions menu > Bank transactions > New transaction.
  2. Select Expense, enter the Payee and Amount.
  3. Choose between Business and Personal, then select the appropriate Category.
  4. Click Save to complete the process.

 

Once saved, your entry will appear in the Transactions list under Cash on hand, meaning the expense was paid with cash rather than through a bank account or card. This keeps your reports and tax summaries clean.
