Who paid you
From records who paid you, like a church or a regular client, or no one for a one-off gig. Pick one of your accounts, or choose Create account to make one on the spot. Like any account, it needs a Bill-to with an email. Income that names an account shows on that account’s Transactions tab and groups under it in your reports, but it never changes the account’s balance.How income counts
Income counts with the rest of your revenue. In the Transactions summary, it adds to what you billed and collected, so your profit goes up too. On the Profit & Loss, it lands on its category’s line on the date you gave it, so a church fee filed under Performances sits with your other performance money. It also shows in transaction reports.Change or delete income
Click an income row to open it and fix anything that’s off. Each field saves as you change it. Delete transaction in the row’s ⋯ menu removes it for good. Like an expense, income has no void, so editing or deleting is how you fix it.FAQ
