To better suit the needs of your business, you can create your own accounting categories for categorizing transactions.

A complete listing of accounting categories can be viewed and managed by going to "Bookkeeping Options" under "Account Settings", or click here if you're already signed in to your 17hats account.

To add a new category under the appropriate section: 

  • Income

  • Transfers

  • Cost of Goods Sold

  • Expense

  • Equity

  • Assets

  • Liabilities


From "Bookkeeping Options", select  "Add Category" in the appropriate section.
