Banking Setup

Connecting your financial accounts to Heyweek turns cash flow tracking from a manual chore into something that mostly keeps itself up to date. This guide walks you through linking an account through integrations, categorizing the transactions that come in, matching your expenses to the bank transactions that paid them, and keeping an eye on your overall cash position.

Connect a financial account

Linking an account lets transactions flow into Heyweek automatically, so your cash position reflects reality instead of last month's spreadsheet.

1. Open the integrations area and look for the option to connect a financial account.
2. Choose your provider from the available connections and authorize access so Heyweek can read your transactions.
3. Confirm which account or accounts you want to bring in, then finish the connection.

Heyweek only reads the data needed to track cash flow, and you can review or remove the connection at any time.

Categorize transactions

Raw transactions become useful once they're sorted into income and expenses you actually recognize.

• Assign categories to incoming transactions so revenue and costs line up with how you think about your business.
• Tag expenses to a project or client where it makes sense, so spending can be attributed to the work it supported.
• Let recurring transactions inherit the category you used last time to cut down on repetitive sorting.

Consistent categories are what make your reports and forecasts trustworthy later on.

Match expenses to transactions

Reconciling your recorded expenses against the bank transactions that paid them keeps your books honest and your cash position accurate.

1. Find an expense (and its receipt) you've recorded in Heyweek.
2. Match it to the bank transaction it corresponds to — Heyweek suggests likely candidates to speed this up.
3. Flag anything that doesn't line up for a closer look.

Matching regularly means your expenses and your bank activity stay in agreement, so the cash flow view reflects reality.

Monitor cash flow

With accounts connected and transactions sorted, the cash flow view becomes a live picture of your finances.

• Watch your current cash position update as transactions arrive.
• Track income and expenses over time to spot trends before they become surprises.
• Use forecasting to project where your balance is heading based on what's already in motion.

Checking in regularly turns cash flow from a year-end scramble into a habit.

Tips

• Reconcile little and often — a few minutes each week beats hours at month end.
• Keep categories simple at first; you can always split them out as patterns emerge.
