# Family accounting

> Guides for specific family accounting tasks in finerd: invite a partner, understand the core principles, share an account, share household expenses from a private account, handle transfers, and categorize shared transactions your own way.

<Tip>
  Partner access is free. Invite one partner at no extra cost. Your partner gets their own finerd space and only sees what you choose to share.
