Getting started
Set up CORE Books AI, bring in your transactions, and let Cash keep your books.
Create your account
- Choose your plan. Monthly plans start with a 14-day free trial. Annual plans have no trial; they come with a 30-day money-back guarantee instead.
- Create your account with your email.
- Tell Cash your industry and a little about your business. Cash uses it to categorize your transactions from the first day.
- Confirm your plan at checkout, and you land on your dashboard.
The Pricing page shows what each plan includes.
Bring in your transactions
- Connect a bank or credit card account in Settings, under Banks & accounts (on a computer, the dashboard has a Connect Bank Account button too). New transactions come in on their own after that.
- Or import a CSV file from your bank's website: on Activity, choose Add, then Import CSV.
- Add or manage accounts any time in Settings, under Banks & accounts.
Cash categorizes for you
Cash files each transaction under a category. When he is sure, it goes into your books. When he is not, it waits for your review.
Review with Cash takes you through the ones waiting. Activity shows every transaction, and you can change any of them. To have a vendor always filed the same way, make a rule in Settings, under Categories & rules.
See your numbers
- Dashboard
- Your profit so far this year, your accounts and your tax estimate, at a glance.
- Reports
- The Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and your account balances, for any dates.
- Taxes
- Your estimated tax for the year and your quarterly payments. Fill in your Tax Settings page (filing status, other income, withholding) so the estimate fits you.
- Your business
- Its entity type, the owner's salary for an S-corp, and its tax form are in Settings, under Manage businesses.
Ask Cash
Chat with Cash about your books: what you spent, how a month compares, what you may owe. Cash answers from your real numbers.
For questions about using the app, open Help & Support. Cash Help answers there, and can pass you to a person.
Connect your own AI
AI connections are available on Co-Pilot and Command. With one, your own AI, such as Claude or ChatGPT, can work in your books too.
