How do I add a new category?

Adding categories while you're tagging or in your Settings.

Adding New Tags

If while tagging you encounter a new type of transaction and want to add a new tag to your chart of accounts, you can do so directly from the tagger.


From the Tagger

Step 1: Search pre-set categories

Use the search bar at the top of the screen to look for one of our pre-set categories.

Step 2: Add the tag

If you see what you're looking for in the list, hit the (+) icon and can be added with a single click. You can also use these default categories as a starting point because they are tied to a Schedule F box, but edit the name later in Settings to fit your use case.


In Settings

Step 1: Head to Settings -> Categories

This is where you'll find all of your categories.

Step 2: Add categories

Use the +Add button to create new categories, or use the pencil to the right of each category to edit individual categories.


Archiving a Category

Go to Settings → Categories, click the pencil next to the category, and select Archive. This hides it from your tagger but keeps all existing tags and history — archived categories still show in your analytics, accounting, and exports.

To restore an Archived category, just re-add the category with the exact same name and parent. There's no unarchive button.
