STEP BY STEP

Let's get it set up.

01

Choose the month and financial scope

Select the month you want to review and decide whether the report should include all accounts and cards or a narrower part of your workspace.

REPORT VIEWChoose what you want to review.

MONTHOctober 2026Selected reporting period
ACCOUNTS & CARDSAll accounts & cardsIncluded financial activity
◎

Changing the report scope changes which recorded transactions contribute to the figures you see.

02

Read the monthly summary

Start with income, spending and net activity. Together, these figures summarize the recorded movement for the selected report.

INCOMEAED 14,000↑ 4.2% vs last month
SPENDINGAED 10,000↓ 3.8% vs last month

03

Understand net activity

Net activity shows the difference between recorded income and recorded spending for the selected period and scope.

RECORDED INCOME+ AED 14,000

RECORDED SPENDINGAED 10,000
=
NET ACTIVITY+ AED 4,000
◎

Positive net activity means recorded income was higher than recorded spending during the selected period.

ACCOUNT BALANCEMoney held at a point in time
◎

Net activity describes movement during the reporting period. It is not the same as your account balance or overall financial position.

04

Compare the month with the previous period

Use the comparison indicators to understand whether income and spending increased, decreased or remained broadly unchanged.

An increase or decrease is context, not automatically good or bad. Use the category analysis to understand what changed.

05

Continue into the category analysis

The monthly totals provide the overview. Category analysis then helps explain where the recorded income and spending came from.

Your monthly report gives you an overview first and then lets you move into the categories and transactions behind those figures.
