log a one-off expense

for cash expenses (a parking fee, a tip, gas you paid out of pocket) that don't have a receipt or didn't come through pawpaw / bluejay / sassafras.

4 steps~2 min
  1. 1

    open the transactions tab

    the full ledger lives here.

  2. 2

    click "log expense"

    the button sits in the toolbar.

  3. 3

    fill in the basics

    date, amount, vendor, and category. categories follow your tax form so year-end is one click.

  4. 4

    save

    the entry posts to the ledger and the p&l immediately. it shows up with source = "manual" so you know it didn't auto-flow in.

    tip

    for receipts, use sassafras — the ai pulls vendor, date, total, and category from a photo. only use sycamore's manual log for things you literally can't photograph (a venmo to a kid for cleanup help).
