1. Create your account

Sign up and confirm your email with a 6-digit code.

1

Go to the registration page by clicking "Sign up".

2

Enter your full name, email address and a strong password (at least 8 characters, with letters and numbers).

3

Click "Create account". We'll send a 6-digit code to your registered email.

The email comes from support@finlycr.com. If you don't see it in your Inbox, check the Spam and Promotions folders.
4

You'll be redirected to the verification page. Copy the code from the email and paste it into the 6-digit field.

The code expires in 10 minutes. If it expires or didn't arrive, press "Resend" (there's a 30-second cooldown between resends).
5

After verifying, you'll be redirected to login. Sign in with your email and password.

If you try to sign in without verifying your email, you'll see a message with a button to return to the verification screen.

2. Set up your bank accounts

Before recording transactions you need to create at least one account (bank, card, cash, etc.).

1

Go to "Settings" from the navigation menu.

2

In the "Accounts" section click "New account".

3

Enter the account name (e.g. Pichincha Bank, Credit card, Cash) and select a type and color.

4

Enter the initial balance of the account. This is the amount your account starts with in the app.

The initial balance is required. From it, your balance will be calculated by adding all future transactions.
5

Click "Save". You can create as many accounts as you need.

The name you give the account is important — it will help you identify it when recording transactions.

3. Record transactions

Record your income and expenses by filling out a quick form.

1

Go to "New transaction" from the menu.

2

Fill in the form fields: amount, type (Income or Expense), category, account and date.

The date auto-fills with today's date, but you can change it.
3

Optionally add a description to remember what the transaction was about.

4

If the expense had a bank fee, enter it in the "Fee" field — it's recorded as a separate expense with its own category.

In the fee field you can type "41" and it normalizes to 0.41 automatically (interpreted in cents).
5

The account selector shows the available balance. If the expense (plus the fee) exceeds the balance, you'll see a warning.

6

Click "Save transaction" to confirm. Use "Clear" if you want to reset the form.

You need to have at least one account created in Settings to be able to record transactions.

4. Transfer between your accounts

Move money from one of your accounts to another in one step.

1

In "New transaction" change the top selector to "Internal transfer".

2

Choose the source and destination accounts, enter the amount and (optional) the bank fee.

3

The app automatically creates 2 transactions: a withdrawal in the source account and a deposit in the destination account, both with the "Internal transfer" category. If you add a fee, a third one is created as an expense under "Bank fee".

If you leave the description empty, an automatic one is generated like "Transfer to Visa Debit" / "Transfer from BAC Savings". If you write your own description, it's appended at the end: "Transfer to Visa · May rent payment".

5. Quick access floating button

The + button in the bottom right corner lets you record transactions from any page.

1

Click the indigo circular button with the + icon in the bottom right corner of any page.

2

The same transaction form (amount, type, category, account, description and date) will open without leaving the current page.

On mobile the panel slides up from the bottom, on desktop it appears as a centered window.
3

When you save the transaction, the panel closes automatically and you can continue where you left off.

4

You can also close the panel with the Escape key, the close button, or by clicking outside the panel.

6. View history

The history shows all your transactions with filtering and export options.

1

Go to "History" from the navigation menu.

2

Use the Type, Category and date filters to find specific transactions.

3

Click the pencil ✏️ icon to edit an existing transaction.

4

Click the trash 🗑️ icon to delete a transaction (you'll be asked for confirmation).

You can export all filtered transactions to CSV by clicking "Export CSV".

7. Dashboard

The dashboard shows a visual summary of your finances.

1

From the Dashboard you can see the total balance, income and expenses for the month.

2

The monthly chart shows the evolution of income and expenses over recent months.

3

Expenses by category show where you're spending the most.

The dashboard updates automatically each time you record a new transaction.

8. Currency type

Select the currency in which you want to see all your amounts (USD, EUR, CRC, etc.).

1

When creating your account for the first time, the welcome wizard will ask you to select your preferred currency.

2

Available currencies are: USD (Dollar), EUR (Euro), MXN (Mexican Peso), COP (Colombian Peso), CRC (Colón), ARS (Argentine Peso), CLP (Chilean Peso), PEN (Peruvian Sol), BRL (Brazilian Real) and GBP (British Pound).

The default currency is USD. All amounts in the app will be formatted according to the currency you choose.
3

If you want to change it later, go to your "Profile" and select a new currency in the corresponding field.

9. Subscriptions

Keep track of your recurring payments: daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly (Netflix, Spotify, gym, etc.).

1

Go to "Commitments" from the menu and select the "Subscriptions" tab.

2

Click "New subscription" and enter the service name, amount and billing account.

3

Select the billing frequency using the 4-option selector: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly.

Daily: charged every day. Weekly: pick one or more days of the week (quick-select buttons for workdays, weekends, or all days). Monthly: enter the day of the month (1–31). Yearly: enter the day and month of the year.
4

At the top you'll see an estimated monthly total for active subscriptions. Non-monthly frequencies are normalized (daily ×30, weekly ×4.33, yearly ÷12).

You can also assign a category to each subscription to better organize your recurring expenses.
5

You can pause a subscription without deleting it by clicking "Pause". When reactivated, it will count again in your estimated monthly total.

A few days before the next billing date you'll see a notice on the card showing when it will be charged.
6

To edit or delete a subscription, use the action buttons on each card.

10. Profile and settings

Personalize your account and manage your categories.

1

From your avatar in the menu, access your profile to change your name, photo and preferred currency.

2

In "Settings" you can manage your bank accounts (name, type, color and initial balance) and create custom categories.

3

System categories (Food, Transport, etc.) are available to all users.

You can create your own categories with custom colors and icons that only you will see.

11. Family spaces

Share accounts, transactions and loans with your partner or family. Your Personal view remains private.

1

Go to your "Profile" and find the "Active space" section, or go directly to "Manage spaces".

2

Click "Create family space" and choose a name (e.g. "My family" or "Home"). You'll become the owner of the space.

3

The owner generates an invitation link and shares it with whoever they want. The link expires in 7 days and can be regenerated or revoked at any time.

Anyone with the link joins automatically, so only share it with people you want to give access to.
4

To join an existing space click "Join with code" and paste the link or code that was shared with you.

5

Switch between "Personal" and your family spaces from the selector in the side menu (desktop/mobile web) or from your "Profile" → "Active space".

Data (accounts, transactions, loans, subscriptions) is automatically filtered by the active space. Your Personal view is always private — no one else sees it.
6

Inside the family space, each transaction shows "by [name]" so everyone knows who recorded the movement.

7

The owner can rename the space, remove members or delete it entirely. Each member can leave whenever they want.

Deleting the space removes its shared accounts, transactions and loans, but not your personal data.
