When you create your first bank or cash account, Manager automatically adds two essential accounts to your Chart of Accounts:
• Cash & Cash Equivalents - A control account in the Assets section that shows the combined balance of all your bank and cash accounts.
• Inter Account Transfers - A special account in the Equity section used for transfers between your accounts. This ensures transfers are properly matched and do not affect your net position.

• Term deposits can have their own asset control account.
• Bank loans can be separated as liabilities.
For maximum detail, create a control account for each bank account to show individual balances on financial statements.
