Minor units

Cents. The app stores every amount as a whole number of cents and only shows dollars and decimals on screen.

In Solo Superstars

You type $12.99; the database keeps 1299. This avoids the rounding drift that decimal math causes, which matters when thousands of lines must sum to exactly the same number in two places.

CSV imports and bulk uploads accept normal dollar amounts; the conversion happens once at the boundary.

Example

A trial balance that must foot to the cent does, because nothing was ever a fraction of a cent.

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.
