The app’s reports answer fixed questions by month. Custom reports let your AI assistant answer the one you actually have: this card, these two weeks, that tag — computed on the server, in your space’s currency.
What you can ask
Any date range
“How much did I spend from August 11 to today, by category?” — a day, a weekend, a trip, the 15th to the 15th. The app’s reports stop at whole months; this doesn’t.
By day or by week
“Show my spending per day for August and compare with July.” Every day in the range is there, including the empty ones.
One card
“Spending on my Monobank white card last week, by category.” The Expense report has no account filter; here the paying card is just another filter.
Tags, combined
“Total for the tag ‘renovation’ from June 1 to September 15.” Or two tags at once — both on the same transaction, either of them, or one without the other.
- “Income, expenses and the result for July in one summary.”
- “Average purchase and my 10 largest purchases in August.”
- “How much left my white card as transfers to my other accounts in August?”
- “What was the balance on my card on August 31?” — this one uses the account statement, day-accurate for any date.
Why the numbers are right
Before this, an assistant answered such questions by paging through transaction rows — per currency, summed in its own head, easy to get wrong on split transactions and refunds. Now the total is computed by the Finerd server, in your space’s primary currency, from the same double-entry data as the app’s reports. We verified it against the app’s Expense and Income reports for the same month: identical to the cent, per category and in total. A few things the engine does for you that rows never could:- Split transactions are pro-rated — a receipt split across two categories and two cards is attributed correctly to each.
- Refunds count against the category, exactly as in the Expense report.
- Two tags on one transaction are counted once when you ask for “either tag”, and only that transaction when you ask for “both”.
How to check the figures yourself
Ask for a whole past month, by category, on the accrual basis — e.g. “July expenses by category, accrual basis” — and compare with Reports → Expenses for July in the app. The totals and every category should match to the cent. If they don’t, that is the most valuable thing you can send us.Good to know
- Transfers between your own accounts. “How much left card A as transfers” is exact. Where the money went is exact only for transfers you entered by hand; for bank-synced transfers the other side goes through Money on the way, so the assistant will report the outflow and tell you the destination isn’t available in this report.
- Balances and net worth are not custom reports — ask for the account statement (“balance on my card on August 31”) or the Net worth report instead.
- Tags on both sides. Asking for spending “by each tag separately” gives one line per tag; a transaction carrying both tags appears under both, so don’t add those lines up — ask for “either tag” to get the true combined total.
- Custom reports are part of the paid plan, like the Expense report.
