Understanding Bill Groups

Bill Groups (also called workspaces) help you organize and separate different sets of financial data.

What Are Bill Groups?

A Bill Group is a separate workspace containing its own set of bills, payments, and history. Common uses include:

  • Personal vs Business - Keep personal and business finances separate
  • Household Management - Different groups for different properties
  • Family Sharing - Separate groups for different family members

Best Practices

  1. Name Clearly - Use descriptive names like "Smith Household" or "Business Expenses"
  2. Limit Sharing - Only share with people who need access
  3. Use Separate Groups - Don't mix unrelated finances
  4. Review Access Periodically - Remove users who no longer need access
