If you would like to transfer your Chart of Accounts yourself, be advised that our system uses a dash between Categories and Subcategories so you will need to remove any dashes from your current list before importing into the program. (See image below.) From the Excel file Account Column C, copy your income categories to our Category Group Column A. For any Subcategories move its Category name to Column C and remove it from Column A. Now do the same for the expenses. This is only done once when setting up, and we are more than happy to help you with this process.
