Categorizing expenses

Categories keep money-out reporting useful - owners pick from a fixed list, facilities can add their own.

Owner expense categories

When logging a personal expense, choose from: Board, Training / Lessons, Vet / Medical, Farrier, Feed / Supplements, Tack / Equipment, Shows / Competition, Insurance, or Other (Other asks for a description).

Facility bill categories

Bills use your facility’s own category list - every line item on a bill gets one. If nothing fits, use Add custom category right from the category picker to create your own.

Where categories pay off

Finances → Reports includes an expense view that breaks spending down by category - consistent categorization is what makes it meaningful.

💡

Categorize as you go

It’s much easier to pick the right category when recording the bill than to clean up months of “Other” at tax time.
