Bank account

A real place money lives: checking, savings, a credit card, a line of credit, cash on hand. Each one gets its own ledger account automatically.

In Solo Superstars

Add them under Accounting › Bank accounts. Each has a register, an import history, and a reconciliation trail. Processor accounts (Stripe, Square) are a special kind whose ledger twin is a clearing account.

Example

"Chase Business Checking" pairs with 1010 Checking; "Amex Blue" pairs with 2100 Credit Card.

Codes shown are the defaults a new workspace starts with. Yours may be renamed or renumbered — check Accounting › Chart of accounts. See the full default chart.

  • Bank account vs ledger account — A bank account is a real place money lives (checking, a card, a line of credit). A ledger account is a category in your books. Each bank account pairs with exactly one ledger account.
  • Bank transaction — One line from your bank: a deposit, a charge, a fee, a transfer. Imported from a statement, entered by hand, or synced.
  • Statement import — Uploading a bank or card statement (CSV or PDF). The importer checks that opening balance plus activity equals the closing balance before anything is saved.
  • Opening balance — What a bank account held on the day you started tracking it in Solo Superstars, or on the first day of a statement.
