Opening the create account form
You can create a new account from two locations in Commander Finance. The Home page displays a Create Account button when you first log in, and the Accounts page also includes an Add Account button. When you click either button, a form appears on top of your current page. If you have a Sync subscription, Commander presents a choice between Manual and Automatic account creation. Select Manual to create an account where you enter transactions by hand. Core subscription users proceed directly to the manual account form without seeing this selection.Entering account information
