Welcome to Accountant

Personal finance, the double-entry way.

Accountant is a personal finance app for Android, built on real double-entry accounting and made easy. It was designed by a Certified Public Accountant, so your books stay accurate without you having to think like a bookkeeper.

You say what happened (you paid for something, received money, moved money or bought on credit) and Accountant records both sides of the entry. Your accounts always balance, your net worth is real, and your reports can be trusted.

Start here: the three basics

Three ideas make everything in Accountant click:

Your money in one equation: total assets = total liabilities + net worth.
The account structure: account type › account category › account. A category groups accounts; it isn't an account itself.
Six kinds of transactions: pick what happened, and Accountant records both sides for you.

Try the demo first

During setup you can turn on Add demo data. It fills the app with a few months of realistic records, so you can explore every screen before entering your own:

a salaried person who rents an apartment
emergency savings, a personal loan and a condo mortgage
several credit cards: one overdue, one due soon and one paid in full
overseas freelance work paid in foreign currencies, travel cash and a small crypto holding
budgets, scheduled bills and upcoming payments

The demo is illustrative data, not advice about typical incomes or prices. When you're ready, remove it in Settings › Remove demo data. See First setup.
