Working with Transactions

Transactions are the building blocks of your financial data. Every time money enters or leaves your business, that's a transaction. dreamteam.ai helps you track, categorize, and analyze all your transactions in one place.

Transactions can be positive (income) or negative (expenses), and each one belongs to an account and optionally a category.
