Insights

Insights is your live cash flow dashboard. It shows how money has moved through your business over any period - broken down into cash in, cash out, and net cash flow - with a chart you can drill into transaction by transaction.

{% hint style="info" %} Insights is a cash movement view built for business owners. It's different from the formal Cash Flow Statement under Accounting, which is an accrual-based accounting report. If you're looking for a report to share with a lender or investor, use the Cash Flow Statement. If you want to understand your day-to-day cash picture, use Insights. {% endhint %}

What you're looking at

Insights organizes your financial activity into sections:

• Cash in - income received: revenue, customer payments, refunds collected
• Cash out - money spent: all operating expenses by category
• Capital - money moving in or out that isn't operating income or expense - transfers, loan payments, owner contributions and distributions
• Net cash flow - the total change in your cash position for the period

Each section is expandable - click into any category to see the individual transactions behind the number.

The chart

The chart at the top visualizes your cash movement over time. Use the Cycle dropdown to aggregate by week, month, or year. Click any bar or line segment to filter the table below to that period.

Filters

Use the filters at the top to narrow your view:

• Date range - default is year to date; adjust to any period
• Entities - view one business or all of them combined
• Accounts - focus on specific bank or card accounts
• Classes - filter by department, location, or project (Plus plan)

Your filter settings are saved automatically and persist when you return.

Drill into transactions

Click any cell in the table to open a drawer with the underlying transactions for that category and period. From there you can review, edit, or take action on individual transactions without leaving Insights.

Compare periods

Use the comparison columns to see how the current period stacks up against the previous one - both the dollar change and the percentage change are shown side by side for every row.
