Help

Help lives inside the app, one chapter per screen

No accountant language. Every page in OmniAccount has a ? Help button with details for that exact screen. The eight chapters, in short:

  1. Create: the Create ▾ menu on every page, grouped by what you are adding: Entity, Account, Tag, Exchange Rates; Rent & Subscriptions (Property, Tenant, Track Rent); Purchases & Sales (Product, Services, Client, Vendor, Invoice).
  2. Entities: one entity = one complete set of books; switch at the top left; each entity picks its notation, date and number format.
  3. Chart of Accounts: every account of every kind in one searchable list: places money sits, reasons money moves, things you owe or are owed, the owner's own money.
  4. Rent & Subscriptions: properties, tenants, the month-by-month grid, part-payments.
  5. Purchases & Sales: clients, vendors, products, services, invoices and Apply Payment.
  6. Importing Transactions: paste, upload (CSV, Excel, PDF with password), photograph; Suspense or row by row; duplicate flags.
  7. Assigning Transactions: tap the kind, tap the item; transfers; similar rows; create a ledger in place; who it is for.
  8. Reading, Fixing, Printing: passbook-style statements, month-wise totals, the Find box, click a line to fix it, Print / Save as PDF.
The Help page inside the app: a chapter list on the left, the Create menu drawn and explained on the right.
