Overview

Your manual accounts are found in Settings > Manual Accounts. This is where you add and update the things that don’t connect to a bank — a home, a car, cash, or an unsupported institution — so your net worth reflects your whole financial life, not just what syncs.
The Manual Accounts page listing accounts with their type, subtype, and balance

What you can do here

  • Add assets that don’t connect — a home, car, cash, or valuables.
  • Track balances Treasury can’t sync and update them over time.
  • Choose a type (depository, credit, loan, investment, other) so it counts correctly toward net worth.
  • Edit and delete manual accounts any time.

What are Manual Accounts?

Manual accounts let you include financial assets and balances in Treasury that aren’t connected through Plaid. They’re perfect for tracking items that still contribute to your net worth, even if they don’t exist in a traditional bank or investment account. You can use manual accounts for:
  • Physical assets like a home, car, or jewelry
  • Cash on hand that isn’t in a linked bank account
  • Investments or holdings not supported by Plaid
  • Closed loans or credit lines you still want reflected in your history
When creating a manual account, you can set an initial balance and manually update it over time as values change — for example, adjusting your home’s estimated value or tracking your cash total. This helps ensure your net worth in Treasury accurately reflects your complete financial picture, not just what’s in connected institutions.

Adding a Manual Account

To add a manual account, go to Settings > Manual Accounts, then click New Account in the top-right corner. A pop-up will appear where you can enter your account details:
  1. Account Name — Give your account a clear name (e.g., “Cash on Hand,” “Toyota Corolla,” or “Home Equity”).
  2. Balance — Enter the current value of the account or asset.
  3. Type — Choose the type of account from the list below.
  4. Subtype — Optionally, specify what kind of account it is (e.g., Checking or Car Loan).
  5. Click Add Account to save it.

Subtype

The Subtype field lets you add more context within your chosen account type.
For example:
  • If you selected Loan, your subtype might be Student Loan or Auto Loan.
  • If you selected Depository, you could enter Cash or Savings Account.
Subtypes are completely flexible — you can name them however best describes your account. Once created, your manual account will appear alongside your connected accounts in Net Worth and can be updated manually anytime.

FAQ

Connect anything Treasury supports — it stays current automatically. Use a manual account for what can’t connect: a home, a car, cash, valuables, or an account at an unsupported institution.
Add it as a manual account with type Other and its estimated value. It counts toward your assets in Net Worth. Update the value every so often to keep it accurate.
No — that’s the trade-off. Since they aren’t connected, you update their balances yourself whenever the value changes.
