Key Benefits

Multi-category
Percentage or amount
Project allocation
Accurate reports

Real business transactions don't always fit neatly into a single category. A Costco run includes office supplies, breakroom snacks, and cleaning products. A contractor's invoice covers design work on one project and development on another. A utility bill needs to be split between two cost centers. FiscalInsights handles these complex transactions with flexible splitting capabilities.

Split any transaction by dollar amount or percentage across multiple categories, projects, cost centers, or classes. The split happens inline—no need to create separate entries or maintain complex journal entries. Each portion of the split appears in the correct reports: the office supplies portion shows up in the office supplies budget, the breakroom portion in employee amenities, and so on.

You can also create recurring splits for transactions that repeat with the same allocation. If your monthly internet bill always splits 60/40 between two offices, set up the rule once and FiscalInsights applies it automatically every month. This precision in categorization means your financial reports are genuinely accurate, not approximations—and that accuracy improves every decision you make based on those reports.
