Banking in Tyms: how your bank becomes your books

Every bank account you add becomes an account in your books. Bring in its transactions, and Adam sorts each one into the right category. Your reports then build themselves from what you've confirmed.

How it works

  1. Add your bank accounts. Each one becomes a card on Banking → Bank Accounts and an account in your chart of accounts.

  2. Bring in transactions. Upload a statement, connect the bank for automatic sync, or add lines yourself.

  3. Adam categorises them. Each line is matched to an account (for example Software and subscriptions or Service revenue), using your bank rules first.

  4. You review. Fix anything that's wrong, split mixed payments, and match customer and vendor payments to their invoices and bills.

  5. Reconcile. Check that the balance in Tyms matches the balance your bank shows.

The Bank Accounts page

Go to Banking → Bank Accounts. Each card shows:

On the card
