Logging income and expenses by hand

How to add a manual income entry (a walk-in, tip, or older session) and record an expense on your practitioner Accounting tab.

Most of your income arrives on its own from completed bookings, but you can also log money and costs by hand. This guide covers both.

Step by step

1
Add income by hand
On the Income tab, tap Add Income. Fill in a Description and Amount, pick the Date, and optionally add a Client name and Notes. Use it for money that didn't come through a booking — a walk-in, a tip, or an older session.
Don't use it for deposits or payments on an existing booking — manage those from the booking itself.
2
Know that manual income is yours
Manual income is your own personal income. It never creates a settlement and is never split with a studio — you keep all of it. See What a settlement is for how booking money differs.
3
Add an expense
On the Expenses tab, tap Add Expense and enter the amount, a description, the date, and a category (such as Supplies, Equipment, Studio, Travel, Marketing, or Other). Expenses reduce your net profit for the period.
4
Edit or remove an entry
Open any manual income or expense you've added to change it, or delete it from the same screen.

Does adding manual income tell my studio anything?: No. Manual income is private to your own books and isn't shared or settled with anyone.
