Account Initiation Balance

Easily set up your new accounts with the correct starting balance. Whether you're starting with a positive cash reserve or managing a credit balance (minus), our step-by-step initiation flow ensures your finances are precisely accurate from day one.

Setting the Right Foundation

When you start tracking your finances, bringing over your existing accounts perfectly is critical. The Account Initiation Balance flow allows you to securely assign initial balances—both Positive (Assets) and Negative (Liabilities)—to ensure your dashboard immediately reflects your true net worth.

1. View Your Assets and Liabilities

Start from the Tools tab and tap the Account section to get an instant overview of your entire financial position. At the top, you will see three key figures:

📘 Assets (Blue) — Your positive balances. Amounts shown in blue represent money you own, such as cash, savings, or bank deposits.

📕 Liabilities (Red) — Your negative balances. Amounts shown in red represent money you owe, such as credit card dues or loans.

Until you add your starting accounts, all balances will show as zero. The initiation flow helps you set up each account with its correct real-world balance from day one.
