How categories are used
Categories become the building blocks of your P&L and analytics.
- Every bookkeeping transaction (income or expense) is assigned to a category.
- Reports roll up totals by category to show where money comes from and where it goes.
- Clear categories help with budgeting, monitoring spend (e.g. software vs. marketing), and answering questions like “What did we spend on tools last quarter?”.
- Some categories may map to a formal chart of accounts code used by accountants.
- You can mark categories as inactive later when you stop using them, without losing history.
Common examples
- Income: Sales, Consulting, Subscription revenue
- Operating expenses: Software, Rent, Salaries, Marketing, Travel
- Cost of sales: Contractor fees, Direct materials
